Hi,
A question about the best approach for my goal …
I have an event system where I can list all bookings for an event. I want to have a print button that will print the badge for a booking, as well as a ‘print all’ button to print all badges.
A “badge” is printed on 8.5 x 11 stock that is perforated into 8 sections, and there’s a fair bit of logic to determine what’s printed for each booking, and printing includes graphics, and different fonts and colors.
Is CSS the best way to do this, using @media print {…}? For printing the single badge, I’d like to show the full badge in a popup and have a print button on that page.
I think CSS is the obvious choice, but I don’t know if there are other ways. We currently use a MS Access form, but gotta move on from that! And an MS Word merge requires downloading the booking data to excel, which I want to avoid.
If CSS, are there graphic design tools out there that help with auto generating the CSS?
Thanks in advance for your insights,
Josh
ps – Meant to add that the data is managed with mysql/php.
