How to Print Background Colors and Images 

Printing web page backgrounds or images can interfere with the text. But sometimes you may want to do exactly that to capture the colors, such as in printing a copy of our Chinese lunar calendar for reference.

Just keep in mind that the colors that print will most likely look different from what you see on the screen because most printers and monitors have not been calibrated to the same colors.

The newer versions of both Internet Explorer and Netscape can print backgrounds but these settings are usually not activated. If you want to print web page or table background color or images, the easiest way to see what you will get is to check your Print Preview first. If you don’t see the color or images you want, follow the instructions below to set up your Browser to print the background.

Internet Explorer

IE typically is not set to print background color or images, including table cell colors. On IE’s Print Preview, our color charts will show as white table cells with black text. To get the table cells colored backgrounds to print, click on the browser’s Tools menu. Select Internet Options, then click on the Advanced tab. Scroll down to find the Printing heading and check the box called Print Background Colors and Images. This setting affects both page backgrounds and table cell backgrounds.

Netscape Navigator

Netscape seems to always print colored table cells either with colors or shading, depending on your printer. But you can separately control whether it will print the page background color or image. Click on the File menu, then select Page Setup, and then in the Page Options section, check Print Backgrounds to include the page background in your printout.

Are you ready? OK. Go to print Chinese Lunar Calendar.
