Tests

Are the screens affected by printing identified and their usefulness demonstrated?

Is a stylesheet for printing made?

Does all of the content have to be printed? Are the printable elements processed (social media pictogram, background), are the elements not necessary for reading / understanding a page hidden?

Precisions

The flows of dematerialization are sometimes broken, and require written documents output. The user, in some cases, may also be more comfortable using printed documents rather than 100% electronic. Printings have a significant environmental footprint, whether in paper consumption, consumables such as cartridges and printing inks. The printed presentation, or electronic presentation are different, on the other hand the limitation of the environmental footprint must lead to a diminution in the volume of printed information

Use Case

Print test are run to check ink, papers consumption and relevance of information printed
