Fred,
        I think I found the source of the problem.I had the Rendering Intent set to Absolute Colorimetric and that gave me the light blue background. By changing it to Perceptual, the blue background turned to white.

Fred,
        Thanks for your time and patience.......I can tell that I picked a good forum

Fred,
         I just printed a different image and the background comes out white, so I'm not sure what's different about this collage :-\

Fred,
        I just tried something....I changed the setting from letting Qimage manage the printer settings and changed it to letting the printer drivers manage the settings and now I don't have the blue background, it's white.

Fred,
         I just printed that collage with CS2 and the background prints out as white. Strange stuff.........

Fred, Seth,
                 Yes, it is printing a light blue color for the background of the collage. I put the collage together using PS CS2 with the background color as white. I checked the filter selection in Qimage and do not have anything selected.

Hi Fred,
             Thanks for the quick response. Sorry for not making things clearer. I'm referring to the background color of the page itself. On Qimage the preview pane is showing white as the background color but when I select print and get a preview window from my Epson R1800 printer it shows a light blue color instead of white. Also, I just noticed that if I right click on the preview pane and select "page edit" and select "soft proof" I can see the light blue color. Hope this helps,

Hello All,
              Just bought Qimage and have printed several photos with great success. However, I just printed a photo collage and the background color came out a light blue color instead of white. I have the background color set for white on Qimage. Any ideas as to what happened? Thanks,..........Jorge
