Printing

The CIWMB (along with all other California State agencies) is is the process of converting its pages to updated templates using the latest web technologies meeting accessibility standards. Those page that have been converted use a special style sheet for printing, which removes the navigation pieces at the top and sides and prints only the "content." This saves paper and ink by removing content not specific to the individual page being printed. To print a page as it appears on screen, you will need to use "print screen" or a screen capture program.
