OBS

PrintKey-Pro est un utilitaire permettant de réaliser des captures d'écrans complètes ou partielles. Bien plus léger que pas mal de softs de retouches d'images, il a l'avantage une fois qu'il est lancé, de s'activer par une pression de la touche Impr. Syst. . Il permet alors de sauvegarder directement l'image (formats gif, jpg, jpeg, bmp, ico, emf, wmf), ou de la copier dans le presse-papier ou encore de procéder à quelques retouches,mais aussi de l'imprimer (quelques paramètres d'imprimantes disponibles).
