Printing images
Corel PaintShop Pro offers many ways to print images. You can print from the Manage workspace, Edit workspace, or Adjust workspace. You can use a template, or use a custom layout to meet specific size and layout requirements.
You can print contact sheets (left), print to standard photo sizes (center), or create custom print layouts (right).
Templates help you simplify image placement and sizing. You can use templates to lay out and print images in standard sizes, including 4 × 6 inches, 5 × 7 inches, and 10 × 15 centimeters. You can use a Corel PaintShop Pro template, or you can create your own custom template from a page layout that you create.
Creating your own layouts gives you the flexibility to print images to any size and lets you create a custom page for projects such as scrapbooks. For more information about creating layouts, see Creating layouts.
If you are preparing images for professional output, you can print an image to a file, which lets a service bureau send the file directly to an output device. If you are unsure about which settings to choose, consult the service bureau. You can also print crop and registration marks. Crop marks represent the size of the paper and print at the corners of the page. You can print crop marks to use as guides to trim the paper. Registration marks are required to line up film for proofing or printing plates on a color press. They print on each sheet of a color separation.
