# Print Reftests
Print reftests are like ordinary [reftests](reftests), except that the
output is rendered to pagninated form and then compared page-by-page
with the reference.
Print reftests are distinguished by the string `-print` in the
filename immediately before the extension, or by being under a
directory named `print`. Examples:
- `css/css-foo/bar-print.html` is a print reftest
- `css/css-foo/print/bar.html` is a print reftest
- `css/css-foo/bar-print-001.html` is **not** a print reftest
Like ordinary reftests, the reference is specified using a `<link
rel=match>` element.
The default page size
print reftests is 12.7 cm by 7.62 cm (5 inches by 3 inches) with a
default margin of 12.7 mm (0.5 inches) on all sides.
All the features of ordinary reftests also work with print reftests
including [fuzzy matching](reftests.html#fuzzy-matching). Any fuzzy
specifier applies to each image comparison performed i.e. separately
for each page.
## Page Ranges
In some cases it may be desirable to only compare a subset of the
output pages in the reftest. This is possible using
```
<meta name=reftest-pages content=[range-specifier]>
```
Where a range specifier has the form
```
range-specifier = <specifier-item> ["," <specifier-item>]*
specifier-item = <int> | <int>? "-" <int>?
```
For example to specify rendering pages 1 and 2, 4, 6 and 7, and 9 and
10 of a 10 page page document one could write:
```
<meta name=reftest-pages content="-2,4,6,7,9-">
```
