About Print Stylesheets
Print stylesheets optimize your website for printing by removing unnecessary elements, adjusting typography for readability on paper, and ensuring content fits properly on pages.
The @print media query contains styles that only apply when printing or viewing print preview. This is essential for creating professional printed documents from web pages.
