I've encountered an issue with my web page. It is encoded in HTML and CSS and designed to be the size of an A4 page (300dpi) at 2480 x 3508 pixels.
However, when I try to print the page, it is printing in a resolution of 72/96 dpi and splitting into 7 pages instead of just one. I need the printer to print my web page in 300dpi resolution as intended.
Is there any code in CSS, HTML, JavaScript, or something similar that can solve this problem for me?
Thank you.
You have the option to utilize CSS in the following manner:
@media print {
@page {
size: 210mm 297mm;
}
}
Alternatively, you can use px units like so:
@media print {
@page {
size: 2480px 3508px;
}
}

When it comes to HTML/CSS, they are essentially vector graphics. The CSS measurement unit "px" may be set at 72ppi, but this doesn't mean they are raster graphics. It's important to treat them as vectors by the printer software. If you notice lines, text, or other elements printed in a lower resolution like 72dpi, the issue likely lies with your printer/renderer software. Consider trying another browser or saving the document as a PDF (Chrome can do this easily).
However, remember that while the CSS unit "px" is 72ppi, raster graphics such as png, jpg, and gif images will also be treated as 72ppi, even if they were saved in a different resolution. To adjust the resolution of an image accurately, you may need to resize it accordingly. For example, if you have a 5x5 centimeter image (=2x2 inches), save it as 600x600px, but set its CSS width property to 144px (using the formula: width*(72/300)) so it appears correctly on the website.
If images are resized properly, you should have no trouble printing them at 300dpi, especially when saved as a pdf first. Otherwise, the issue likely lies with the printer or printer software.
Remember, the web is not print, and there will always be differences between how a webpage looks on screen versus in print - and that's okay. If you require exact replication, opting for a PDF format may be the best solution.
I recently created a high-quality PDF using pdfkit, specifically with Python and Django. The output was a crisp 300dpi file that met my needs perfectly. Here's a sample code snippet for achieving this:
options = { 'page-size': 'Letter', 'margin-top': '0.75in', 'margin-right': '0.75in', 'margin-bottom': '0.75in', 'margin-left': '0.75in', 'encoding': "UTF-8", 'dpi': '300', 'custom-header' : [ ('Accept-Encoding', 'gzip') ] 'cookie': [ ('cookie-name1', 'cookie-value1'), ('cookie-name2', 'cookie-value2'), ], 'no-outline': None }
pdfkit.from_url('', 'out.pdf', options=options)

It's a common challenge that web resolution is limited to 72 dpi, likely due to default settings in browsers. However, one workaround could be adjusting the settings on your browser or printer to "fit to page" when printing, which may help improve the quality.
Apologies for the delayed response. To print an ID card on a web page at 300 DPI, you will need to convert your web page into a PDF at 300 DPI.
For instance, in the case of PHP and dompdf:
$dompdf = new Dompdf(array('enable_remote' => true));
$dompdf->set_option('dpi', 300);
$dompdf->loadHtml($html);
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream($filename.'.pdf',array('Attachment'=>0));
