I've been using Tiffany for 4 years and think it's the best. I shoot my
screens on the highest resolution monitor available (set to monochrome
mode to produce the smallest file size), save them as BMP files, insert
them as pictures into Winword, size them to betwen 65 & 80%, and they
print out looking great.
