I can't seem to get a print the size as entered.  I enter the paper size and the custom print size and it shows up on the view normally, but it prints much smaller.
example is a print entered as 16.25 inches comes out as 9 1/8 ".  This just happened very recently; any chance it is due to the latest version 2017-104?

Whenever I start Quadtone Rip, it does a complete clean cycle which is costly and a nuisance.
It would be nice to be able to skip this step for that reason and also because of the new clean
app now included with Qimage. Can anyone give me any help on this would be surely appreciated
thanks

I have consistently had dark prints with my Epson r2400 printer using the profile that is supposed to be match for the paper.  I have had to compensate by reducing ink saturation by minus 17%. 

I have an Epson r2400 printer . I have tried a lot of different papers including the Gekko Green which was honored by some society ( can't remember  which ) as the best bw paper on the market. I finally have settled on the Epson Exhibition Fiber as my favorite. I use the factory profile with the bw printing section of the printer driver and add 1red and 6 yellow to counteract the slight color cast and give it a slightly warm look---very subtle. Density is set to darker. By the way, I also consider it the best paper for color work. With any of the other papers, I got either a green or magenta cast which was impossible to compensate for. The results with the Epson paper give what I would consider a very neutral natural looking print, however there are times I would like to emulate the warm look of Portriga Rapid . I use Picture Window as an image program and I obtained from one of their contributors a curve to give the warm look of Portiga paper, but as far as I know  that can't be used as a filter with Qimage; anyway I don't know how if it can be done. Anybody have any thoughts on this?
