Hello
1)  I'm going to do that in the week.
2) I use the tool provided in the HPZ9.
3) it does not show the muted reds. When I activate the 'GMT' button and I compare to PS, there are some huge differences: for PS there are much less unprintable colors. But the differences are not on the places when the mutated colors are the most obvious.

Hello

When you hold the mouse cursor over the thumbnail of the exported image in Qimage and press the spacebar to open the image full screen, does color look OK on screen?
yes colors in Qimage are ok on screen

Where did you get the printer profile you are using?
I built my own one with the HPZ9 spectro. I repeated the operation 3 times..

When you converted to the printer profile in PS in your step 3, your profile conversion settings were different than those set in Qimage (for example, relative colorimetric, BPC on).
using 16 bpc in both cases.

Thanks for your reply.

yes it's ok: i checked that point and the right ProPhoto  color space is displayed. I tried also with several options in the color conversion and still the issue.

Hello
i have an issue with Qimage when I print to my Hp Z9 :
1) first
- in photoshop, I export in ProPhoto RGB to Qimage (automate -> qimage)
- in Qimage, I select the ICC profile of the paper of my HP and select "colors managed by software" in the driver
- I print
=> printed colors are not accurate, the red seems to be desaturated

2) I do the same but in photoshop
=> colors are ok

3) in photoshop, I convert in the ICC profile of the paper of my HP
- I export to Qimage
- in Qimage,  I select 'OFF' in the printer profile and I select "colors managed by software" in the driver
=> colors are ok

Is there anything I missed in Qimage ?

Thanks and regards
Hery

Hello
first, I want to congratulate the authors of Qimage ultimate; this is THE tool I've searched for 2 years...  Cheesy I do not understand why I did not find it sooner..  Google was not your friend.

My workflow :
- capture one -> Photoshop -> Qimage > HpZ9. (Sometimes, I do not use Photoshop)

I have a question regarding the Guides: I print on some A2 sheet in my HP, but sometimes I have to provide a photoframe of  40x60. So until now, I centered and print my photo on 30x50 for instance (I have a white border or a black one depending of the background), then I cut manually at 40x60.
What is the best way to display the print with the guides at 40x60 ( to ease the cut  ) and a centered image of 30x50 inside the guides ?

Thanks to all.
Hery
