PrintKey 2000

PrintKey 2000 is a screen capture application for Windows that sits in your system tray and is activated every time you press the print screen key (Printscrn) on your keyboard; it captures an image of your screen and can be edited or saved into a number of different formats i.e. .jpg, .png, .gif, .bmp.

Editing features include brightness, contrast, convert to gray scale and size as well as the ability to add text and add your own free hand drawings to the captured image; a print option is also available. PrintKey 2000 was developed and released by developer Alfred Bolliger in 1999, there is only one version of the software v5.10. It has since been discontinued to make way for the release of PrintKey Pro.

PrintKey 2000 is supported on Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/7.

Pros: Runs unnoticeable in the background, fast, useful for taking images of videos etc.
Cons: Interface leaves much to be desired.
