# Print Styles

Bullframe includes built-in print styles based on [HTML5 Boilerplate](https://github.com/h5bp/main.css). These are applied automatically via `@media print`; no extra classes needed.

## What the Print Styles Do

* Forces black text on white background for readability
* Removes box shadows and text shadows
* Underlines all links and appends the URL after link text
* Prevents page breaks inside tables, images, and paragraphs
* Expands `.bf-container` to a minimum width of 992px
* Makes responsive tables scrollable and auto-width

## Included Automatically

Print styles are bundled into all main Bullframe builds (`bullframe.css`, `bullframe-dark.css`, etc.). No additional stylesheet or class is required.

## How It Works

```css
@media print {
  /* Forces readable black-on-white output */
  * {
    background: #fff !important;
    color: #000 !important;
    box-shadow: none !important;
  }

  /* Shows link URLs in parentheses */
  a[href]::after {
    content: ' (' attr(href) ')';
  }

  /* Prevents awkward page breaks */
  tr,
  img {
    page-break-inside: avoid;
  }
}
```

## Tips

* Test print output with your browser's Print Preview (Ctrl+P / Cmd+P)
* Use semantic HTML for the best print results
* Avoid relying on background colors for conveying information
