PRINTING
LEADTOOLS can perform all of the image processing necessary to print directly to any Windows supported printer. You have complete control over the position of the image and the size of the printed image.
LEADTOOLS can preprocess the image for you, so it matches the output device, or you can manually preprocess the data before printing, or you can send the data as is so the printer driver processes the data. Some preprocessing functions include to ability to halftone an image (using any angle you specify for the halftone screen) to prepare images for back and white printing. Additionally, you can reduce the colors in an image to use an optimized palette, LEAD palette or a user defined palette.
With LEADTOOLS, you can easily print text using Windows GDI and multiple images on the same page. Additionally, you can save coding time because you can use the same code to display images to the monitor or printer.
LEADTOOLS also includes a function that uses GDI+ for optimized and fast printing of images. It produces a smaller spooler file size, which will increase the speed of the printing over a network.
Additionally, LEAD offers the LEADTOOLS ePrint API to capture the print output of any application. Once the print output has been captured it can be processed further in LEADTOOLS (image processing, OCR, etc...) and/or saved to several document, image or vector formats. LEADTOOLS ePrint offers you greater flexibility in existing applications that support printing and in the use of physical printers.
