Print many photos – fast, clear and professional

 

Printstation is a professional photo catalog and printing application for creating contact sheets, printed albums, index pages, collages, photo documentation, ID photos and more. With just a few clicks, you can print multiple photos per page including automatically generated headings and captions with macro support, without having to manually position individual images.

 

Printstation combines features that are unique in this form:

  • Paper saving mode that automatically calculates the optimal layout for any combination of photo size and paper size, without requiring templates.
  • Flexible grid layout where images are arranged in rows and columns while individual images can still be enlarged or highlighted.
  • Integrated PDF engine for maximum quality when creating PDF albums and documentation.

 

A page in Printstation consists of columns, rows and cells. You simply define the number of columns and rows, and the cell size is adjusted automatically. Images can be fitted automatically or expanded across multiple cells horizontally or vertically.

An intelligent algorithm ensures that unnecessary gaps are avoided. The result is a clean, professional-looking layout without wasting time, paper or printing costs.

Printing itself is only one part of the workflow. Another important and often underestimated step is selecting the images. Printstation supports this process with a convenient photo browser and a fast integrated image viewer including a slideshow mode.

You can select individual images with a click or keystroke, or select entire folders at once. The current image selection can be saved and reloaded at any time.
