Express PCB question ( perhaps a silly one! )

[Buttercup]

I haven't really felt much like making pcb's until now and I thought
I might try something simple so I downloaded Express PCB
It is veeeeeeeery easy to use but I can't see a way to print out
just the traces without the grid appearing behind them.
Now, I appreciate that they link this program to their own
manufacturing process so they might have disabled this.
Anybody know where I am going wrong?
Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Thanks!!!

While using the PCB Express software you could enlarge the graphics on your screen, then hit the "print screen" button" on your keyboard. Next, open up a graphics program (Photoshop, etc.), and paste the image into that program. You should now be able to crop, resize and print the image.

Hope this helps.

Of course that's the answer.
Works just fine.

Actually.............got a bit fed up with that and downloaded
Eagle PCB which is brilliant!!!!!
Took me an afternoon ( in between work ) to learn enough,
find all the symbols and re-do my little tubemic psu.
Highly recommended if anyone hasn't tried it yet.
