One can apply different CSS stylesheets for different media types (devices). For example, a stylesheet can be applied when a document is rendered on the screen, and a different stylesheet can be applied when that same document is to be printed. The syntax for specifying the media type for a stylesheet is as follows:
| Value | Suitable For |
| all | All devices. |
| aural | Speech synthesizers. |
| braille | Braille tactile feedback devices. |
| handheld | handheld devices. |
| print | material to be printed. |
| projection | Projected presentations. |
| screen | Computer screens. |
| tty | Media using a fixed-pitch character grid. |
| tv | TV-type devices. |
