For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I've always had decent luck with Paint; but it depends upon the method of
final output. Most of my stuff has been simply photocopied or reproduced
straight from a laser printer (not high quantity jobs, obviously).
Currently, however, I'm using a shareware screen capture tool called SnagIt,
which you can download from www.techsmith.com. I think it does a pretty good
job, and has a few handy features, such as being able to capture a scrolling
region and being able to send captures straight to the printer.
