The problem: Started after I began to print a QImage generated queue of 30 A3 sheets with different sizes of photo's on it. The third sheet started, half way the print, to show bad colors. Very red/magenta and much to dark.

What I did: checked all settings, drivers profiles etc. Shaked the cardridges, cleaned the nozzles, did the ultrasone cleaning in the maintenance menu, upgraded the firmware, de- and installed all drivers and colorprofiles. Nothing helped. This happened while using my Epson 7800 printer. I assumed something had 'broken' in this printer.

Therefore I switched to my 4800 Epson printer. Same results! To red, to dark! After de- and installing QImage, after installing QImage Ultimate all results were identical for both printers: unusable for delivery to my clients.

When my time arrives I shall not have deserved a place in heaven I'am afraid. For things being said by me every now and then the last week... But for the moment my live goes on ( for a long time, I hope ;-) I'll have to print anyway.

How I solved it: I found that I can print straight from Photoshop when I let PS manage the colors. The prints become perfect.

The question is: how to handle te be able to use QImage again?

Thanks in advance, Lex Salverda, Netherlands.

P.S: Perhaps anyone knows how to deep-delete QImage from Windows7, without leaving a trace?

Hi Lex,

Not sure from your description, if all images now print bad, or just the ones beyond the first 2 sheets. If all are bad, then it seems a profile has got messed up. If only some, then I would check that from ps you are converting to the correct profile, not just assigning profiles. Anyway, this will remove anything http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html

Best wishes,

Why not apply the same Let Printer Manage color to Qimage, setting teh driver to ICM, and Qimage will use the /pRGB.icm profile for the printer.
Make sure the paper selection is correct in the driver too.
So, ICM set for color in the driver and Qimage set to Let Printer Manage.

Give that a try.
