SDI APS® (Active Printing System)
Reduce development time and simplify print integration with downstream support.
Key benefits
- SDK and a single unified print GUI* for .NET (forms, WPF), Java, Javascript, MFC, QT, GDI, and X11(Windows and Unix)
- Supports all major desktop, wide-format, and specialized plotters/printers
- Supports roll, fanfold, and sheet media
*An application developed with JAVA and one developed with QT will have the same print GUI.
Additional benefits
- Built-in previewer for scale and orientation
- Direct printer manufacturer integration
- Intuitive dialog box with precise output options
- Pairs print functions with applications in mixed environments
Note: Filed under two U.S. patents
See how SDI APS extends Windows printing
| Windows Printing | SDI APS |
|---|---|
| Requires a user to select a "sheet" size | Simply select a roll size attached to the plotter |
| Print size is constrained by sheet size | Boundless virtual sheet size |
| User wastes paper with multiple attempts to get the intended print | Simple user control of scale and bounds |
| Windows printing is prone to freeze if the processes overload the print queue, forcing the user to reboot the spooler | Extends Windows printing with highspeed seamless printing on specialized printers |
| User can set tiling, paneling, scaling, and centering without additional programming |
