I see your point and I should probably make the effort to transfer all driver settings to QImage. Will try your method tomorrow. I guess there is a way to transfer QImage settings to another computer.
 
It's the way it was working before with the printer settings saved in the driver. Since recalling a profile remembered the printer settings, I didn't feel a need to store any printer settings via QImage (which it did apparently automatically) and use Recall. When recalling a profile I was just sure that the settings like paper, thickness, platen gap etc. were correct. That was particularly handy for third party papers where it's sometimes tricky to find the recommended settings on their websites. I have people coming to me occasionally with their own papers for which I did not store a setting and had now to search the websites again.

One feature I appreciated before this 2017.105 upgrade was, when I loaded a printer/paper profile, a dialog box asked me whether I want to restore all printer settings which I used before with this profile. Now this feature seems to be gone.

I have 2 Epson printers (3880), one I keep in Matte and the other in Photo Black. I saved many settings for my papers in the driver, more than 40 for different papers and sizes. It seems now that I'd have to reconstruct all of them again and save them in the Settings tab in QU. For example, when I recall a profile for the PK printer but printed before on the MK printer, all printer settings remain, e.g. printer, paper, thickness, quality etc., and appear as verified!

Any possibility to consider reintroducing this feature again, i.e. a profile driven load of printer settings? This would avoid quite a few prints with wrong settings or double and triple checking before a print that all is OK.

Thanks both I got it.

I recently upgraded to Qimage U and got also the camera profiles. When I enable them in Qimage under Color Management\Images, original JPEGs with embedded sRGB look horrible (double profiled?) whilst raws seem not affected as well as jpegs coming from another photo editor.

The profile is on:


profile off:


I must be doing something wrong I guess.

Thanks for the replies.
It's not because there is no option for paper type, that it cannot simulate the white of the paper, it may do so automatically. As Ernst pointed out, the info on the paper white is contained in the profile but not always used. Photoshop can soft proof with/without using paper white. So I was wondering whether Qimage actually does it with or without. I agree with Ernst, when comparing to PS, the soft proof in Qimage looks more as if paper white is not used. Maybe Mike can tell us.

Does anybody know whether soft proofing in Qimage also simulates the paper white (as you can do in PS)?
