"The W3C Foundation plays an important role in the devlopment of web-to-print techniques. This organisation works on the open standards of the web, which means that they define how the HTML5 and CSS3 standards look like and can push for standardizing certain functionalities. Once a W3C is accepted, it is very likely that different browsers will adapt such feature. \n",

"One of the biggest struggles with web-to-print techniques is that not all browsers support the same CSS3 standards and that browsers use different PDF engines to render PDF documents. Safari is based on WebKit (developped by Apple), Firefox is based on Gecko (developed by Mozilla) and Chrome is based on Blink (developed by Google). Each of these browser engines render web pages ánd PDF document slightly differently, as they implement and render HTML5 and CSS3 rules in different ways.\n",
