Printing is something that many of us do, and some of us do it more often than others. If you print the odd document or image every now and then, the built-in controls make for a smooth enough operation to not warrant a third-party solution.
However, when you start to print multiple things at once, the process may get a bit muddled. Such scenarios justify the need for a third-party program, and one of them is Print Conductor. The utility enables users to print multiple documents at once and edit their properties, thereby streamlining the process and making it more efficient.
Print in batches
The scope of such a tool is to help facilitate batch printing. To that extent, the interface lends itself to an intuitive workflow: select your printer, then begin adding your photos and documents. You can add them individually, drop them in, or just specify the folder where they’re located.
After doing so, you can click the big, green printer icon and the printing will commence thereafter. Before that, however, you may want to take a look at the settings to ensure that everything is alright. The properties of your printer can be immediately changed, right from the interface, but if you want something more thorough, the app’s got you covered on that front as well.
Advanced printing options
When prompting to change the settings, you’ll notice that there are lots of ways to modify the way printing is conducted. Under the Advanced menu, users can tweak the way their documents are printed in great detail: specify the color mode, resolution, rasterization, and scaling, modify the alignments, print service pages, and so forth.
More changes can be done to how the files are loaded: for instance, you can have the printed Word files to hide revisions and skip comments.
Users can also change the print engine: unless you know what you’re doing, it’s best to leave it on auto-select.
In conclusion
If you’re looking to print many documents and want to prioritize efficiency, Print Conductor might be a tool worth looking into. It’s easy to utilize, and you can get surprisingly exhaustive when it comes to adjusting your printing jobs.
