image area non-printable

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

hi,

is it possible to make a non-printable area on an image, for example i have an image of 1200 x 800 and i want to make a 50px height from top a non-printable area, meaning whatever is in that 50px from top in the image will not print.

any suggestions how to achieve this will be highly appreciated.

thanks in advance.

@jedaisoulJun 02.2015 — I have not tested either approach, but I believe that there are at least two ways of suppressing an area on a printout:

  • 2. Cut the image into an upper and lower area and apply a class "noprint" to the upper area. The class is then set up as follows:
    <i>
    </i>@media print {
    .noprint {
    display:none;
    }
    }


  • 1. Overlay the area with a transparent image, e.g. a blank gif image.


    • However, I suspect that, in either case, the area could be made printable by a variety of means:

  • 1. Using <Prt Scr> the area could be included in a screen print, and thus imported to a graphic app and printed from there.


  • 2. Using <ctrl> U or <ctrl> P the source code can be captured and:

    a) Amended to make the area printable. Or...


    b) Searched to find and copy (and hence print) the image.


    • Basically, what you display on the screen can be copied/printed by anyone who tries hard enough!!! ?

    Success!
