The ExpressPrinting System is an advanced data rendering and printing system specifically designed to bring your UI to the printed page. Via its Report Link technology, the ExpressPrinting System allows you to output the contents of VCL controls such as the ExpressQuantumGrid and ExpressVerticalGrid - as well as many others - to paper, while giving you and your users immaculate control over print attributes such as Font, Color, Headers, and Footers.

Like all Developer Express technologies, the ExpressPrinting System helps you put control back into the hands of your end-users via a runtime interface that is easy to use, with an astounding level of flexibility. It gives you the power to quickly add unlimited reporting to your programs without designing a single report!

When you combine the ExpressPrinting System with the ExpressQuantumGrid or ExpressMasterView, you get the threefold benefit of eliminating the tedium associated with creating traditional banded reports, greatly reducing development time, and putting flexibility back into the hands of your users. No longer will you have to create and re-create reports because of simple changes to your database or requests by users to group/sort data by new columns. No longer will you have to pull your hair out when a user requests a new report that was not in the original spec. By combining the ExpressPrinting System with the QuantumGrid and/or MasterView controls, your end-users can arrange data in any manner they see fit, and then print the contents of the control exactly as it appears on-screen.
