Do you mean for screen printing? How many colors? You need to assign specific LPI's, angles and dot type depending what you are trying to print. Your art also might need to be set up better. Can you send link to image and print?

not sure what you need to know.
when you press print screen it takes a picture of your screen. and saves it to your clipboard.
open paint or word and select paste on a new document to see and print the screen picture

Hi, if you would like to print all what apears on your screen at a given moment you can use the print screen function, you will need to hold the F or Fn key while you click on the print screen key, once you done that, all the information on your screen is copied into the clip board and you will need to paste it into an image, use paints or any other graphic software and start new image then paste into it... the new image will be set exactly to your screen resolution and you can adjust to what you like... you can now print from within the graphic program by going into the menu and selecting to print.... This treck is good only if you want to print ALL what is on the screen including your program borders and you task bar, etc... best of luck

What the Print Screen option does is copies the screen to the clipboard. You will need to use a program such as Word and past the content to the open page.
By hitting the Print Screen button by itself will show the image of the desktop.
The Alt + Print Screen combination will give you a pic of the active window

You can also try this...
If your Print Screen is labeled in blue & your Function key is also blue then you have to hold Fn key while using Print Scrn , "Fn"+"Print Scrn" or "Fn"+"Alt+Print Scrn"

let me know if you have any other questions..
Thanks!

pls leave feedback/rating

press the key "Print Screen" "PrnScr" or whatsoever sounds equivalent. If this key is printed outside of the key in color orange, you need to hold down FN key while pressing the "PrnScr" key

You may need to clear print que, but that will be on your server.

In the old DOS days, Print Screen would send a copy of the screen to the printer.

In Windows, Print Screen sends a copy to the Clip Board.
So, what you need to do is open an application like WordPad, MS Word, Paint or some other program and Paste to a new file. Then you can print the image from that file.

A side note: The PrintScreen key captures the whole screen, the ALT-PrintScreen key combination captures only the active window.

When you use the Alt Print Screen button then you need to place it onto a word document in order to print it. Open up word and select to paste the frame into your word document and then print it out.
