Forms. There is no value in printing a contact form that cannot function outside of
a web page. This is where real contact information like e-mail, addresses, and
phone numbers prove their worth on a contact page.
There is a good chance that the final print-ready CSS file will be quite small. Since designers
do not have to worry about styling every last pixel of the background image, header
graphics, and fancy menu buttons, the bulk of the material will be spent defining typography
and page size.
Sizing and measurement considerations
In the digital realm, web designers are well acquainted with pixels, percentages, keywords,
and ems, all common units of measurement found in CSS files. Some, like pixels, are fixed
in size; others, like ems, scale with text resizing inside a browser. Because of the prevalence
of these, designers often overlook units that determine physical dimensions, like inches
and points, which are absolute values suitable for use when the final size of the medium??”
in this case, a piece of paper??”is known. Browsers recognize the following absolute values:
in (inches)
cm (centimeters)
mm (millimeters)
pt (points; these are equal to 1/72 of an inch)
pc (picas; one pica is equal to 12 points)
Whenever possible, these absolute measurements should be used for print-ready CSS files.
