I'm beginning experiments with CSS' real-world units, specifically, in and cm, for purposes of printing.
Are these units based on how they will be displayed on-screen or how they will be printed by a printer? How accurate are these units?

According to W3C, only em, px and % are recommended for screen, the others for print.
Therefore, in a print application, the in and cm measurements could be precisely accurate.
There is an excellent article on such applications here:
