ImagXpress® enables you to print an image, using either ImagXpress or PrintPRO™:
The image is sent to a specified Graphics object using the ImageXView.Print method.
Image Color Management (ICM) is performed to ensure that the image has a very similar appearance, regardless of the device on which it is displayed or printed. When printing an image, the image must be converted to the device-specific color space of the specified printer. This conversion can be done at a number of different points in the process:
To perform color management within ImagXpress:
The ImageXView.Print method requires a graphics object. However, in some containers, this may not be available. In this case, PrintPRO provides a vehicle to print to a selected printing device. PrintPRO may also provide the best solution if you require a customized printer interface and programmatic control over printing functions.
To save the image using PrintPRO, pass the image from ImagXView to PrintPRO. Use PrintPRO to compose the printed page, select a printing device and print to that device.
