To style a print page in Webflow to replicate the exact layout of the webpage, but in black and white, you can follow these steps:
- Create a print-specific style:
- In the Webflow Designer, go to the Styles tab and select the device icon at the top to switch to the Print view.
- Add a new class to your elements specifically for the print version. This class will be used to apply styles only for printing.
- Apply the necessary styling to elements using this class, such as changing the color to black and white, adjusting font sizes, margins, and positioning as needed.
- Use media queries:
- Utilize media queries to target the print-specific styles. Media queries allow you to apply styles based on various conditions, such as the media type (in this case, print).
- In the Custom Code panel of your project settings, click on the '⨁ Add custom code' button and select 'Custom Code' to open the code editor.
- Write a media query specific to print using the
@media
rule. For example:
```css
@media print {
/_ Add your print-specific styles here _/
}
``` - Within the media query, apply the print-specific styles you created in step 1 to the desired elements using the class you assigned.
- Test and adjust:
- Use the Print Preview function in your browser to see how the page will look when printed.
- If needed, make adjustments to the print styles and continue testing until you achieve the desired black and white layout.
By following these steps, you will be able to style a print page in Webflow to replicate the exact layout of the webpage, but in black and white. This ensures that when users choose to print your page, they will get a version that is visually consistent with the web version.
