I use Syrinx and alter the view until I get the best possable
sonogram. Then under edit, select to save copy of window as bitmap
image.  It will then be on your clipboard and you can paste it into
a photo editing program.  Once there you can edit it to remove all
the info you do not want produced in the finnal print.  If you are
only doing a few it is not to much work.
