I tried, but pressing the print screen didn't do anything.

that saves it to your windows "clipboard"
you then have to paste it somewhere like a photo editor and save it as a jpg from there.

Steve,
You need to hold down the Alt key as you hit the Print Screen key. That will load the screen shot to your clipboard. You can then go into PhotoPaint and paste it from the clipboard.

To get a view as it will accurately engrave takes a few steps.
Set up all of your tool bit sizes, then click on WYSIWYRE, (what you see is what you really engrave). It looks like an artists palette. Then do your screen shot and whatever conversion you need.
You can even select the color material and core from the lists of materials provided. It gives the line thicknesses of all of the bits so it is pretty accurate.

Harvey,
I've found that the WYSIWYRE depiction is not near as sharp as the engraving ends up being. The lines are all zig-zaggy and may frighten the customer as to the quality of the engraving.
