Personally, I use screen styles as a print base most of the time. The screen and print styles are entirely separate both start from the browser’s default styles. Taking your screen styles as a base, the printer styles override those defaults as necessary. Applied in addition to screen styling.The following sections describe well-supported and practical options for making your pages printer-friendly.
