Title: Test Strip crop problem
Post by: danall on December 10, 2016, 04:07:27 AM
I've been using Qimage Ultimate for a while now, i just upgraded to 2017.110.  I've read the different posts on how to do test strips but it seems to not work correctly for me.  My problem is that the "test strip button" when activated says "test strip crop and reduce"...or something to that effect.  And that is exactly what it does, it reduces the image from my original intended size.  Lets say I'm doing a test strip on a 8.5 inch by 11" paper, I specify a print size of 8x10, I go to "edit page", I wish to take a test strip out of this 8x10, when i activate the test strip button that 8x10 image is automatically reduced in size!!!!  Thus i cannot get a true crop of the image as if i printed it at 8x10. How I'm trying to use it is to take a crop from a much larger print, then print it at a smaller paper size.  I understand how to do that, but Qimage does not hold my specified print size when i activate the test print crop button as it reduces that size.  I this normal?
I'm using Windows7 with Epson P600 printer.
Thanks
