First, you would use SnagIt Studio to add names to the images. Why would you want to do this? Let’s say you wanted to put pictures of all the support staff on the intranet so that their fellow employees would recognize them. Although earlier versions allowed you to FTP your SnagIt output directly to a Web server or other network location, version 6.1 actually creates a Web page that can be viewed from any Internet browser. SnagIt’s long list of output options has always been a great strength, and version 6.1 adds the Web page output to this list. And best of all, you don’t have to run SnagIt to use the print capture feature. Using the print capture feature, you can improve readability, add borders or watermarks, add a time and date stamp, or annotate the contents before printing. From there, you can send the image to the actual printer or open it in SnagIt Studio where you can modify the image, e-mail it as an attachment, or save it to a file. The SnagIt virtual printer shows up as an option in any program.Īfter clicking the Print button, you’ll see a preview of the printing image. I had to select the Print To File check box to get this feature to work on my test network machine, but SnagIt documentation doesn’t mention this step. Then install SnagIt 6.1, and the SnagIt virtual printer will appear as a printer option (Figure A). Enter SnagIt 6.1’s virtual printer.īefore you can use this feature, you must select a default printer (either network or local).

Print capture adds preview functionality to any programĪlthough print preview is standard on most mainstream office productivity applications, some programs still lack this paper-saving feature.
