How to force output style of printing from within a Module?

I need to organize a printing from within a Module function before finale output (return) from the function. The simple example is here: TestF[t_] := Module[{t0}, Print[{t,t+1,t+2}]; t0=t+1];

All works fine, but result of Print[{t,t+1,t+2}] is a cell having input style (in red frame in the illustration):

enter image description here

The function's return, as always, has output style. I wish the printing inside the function to have output style too.

Unfortunately, OutputForm also doesn't solve the problem. Is it possible to obtain output style in some way?

Thank you, David. This works properly as I need. For some reasons it is more desirable to have an intermediate output, but not finale output of the function.

The Print function is primarily used as a debugging tool. There are generally much better ways to get output if that's your goal in a given situation. One way is to put the relevant data into a data structure--a List for example--and then output that at the end.

But. let's take your simple example and try to do what you want using a better tool: CellPrint along with TextCell (or you could use ExpressionCell if that's what is more pertinent). Try this: it CellPrints in the "Output" CellStyle since that is what the TextCell's CellStyle is set as:

TestF[t_] := 
 Module[{t0}, CellPrint[TextCell[{t, t + 1, t + 2}, "Output"]]; 
  t0 = t + 1]
