LEADTOOLS Image Printing SDK 

Overview of LEADTOOLS Image Printing SDK Technology

LEADTOOLS can perform all of the image processing necessary to print directly to any Windows printer. Additionally, capture printable output from any application with the LEADTOOLS Virtual Printer Driver.

When printing to a Windows 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 halftoning the image (using any angle you specify for the halftone screen) to prepare images for black and white printing. Additionally, you can reduce the colors in an image to use an optimized palette, LEAD fixed 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. The LEADTOOLS optimized printing function produces a smaller spooler file size, which will increase the speed of the printing over a network.
