Non-standard
This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.
The -webkit-print-color-adjust
property is a non-standard CSS extension that can be used to force printing of background colors and images in browsers based on the WebKit engine.
/* Keyword values */ -webkit-print-color-adjust: economy; -webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; /* Global values */ -webkit-print-color-adjust: inherit; -webkit-print-color-adjust: initial; -webkit-print-color-adjust: unset;
