If you ask Mike nicely he will add it to the Menu Cheater, which would be just two clicks, or f12 and one click

If you set the driver to 'ICM' it will use the correct profile supplied by Epson for that paper (you have to set QI profile to 'Off').  The profiles are installed when you load the driver. It's the same as using No Color Adjustment and setting the Epson profile in QI, but obviously only works with Epson papers.

If your files are in RGB colour mode (if not, convert them) then setting the printer driver to ICM  should work.
This will turn on colour profiling using the correct Epson profile for your paper.

Brian

I think the problem is that you are not using ICC printer profiles. These are different for every printer and paper type combination, and sit between the computer and the printer and adjust the colours to give the same result.
Most paper manufacturers supply profiles for their papers, or you can produce your own using something like an X-Rite Colormunki or Mike's Profile Prism software.
The Canon profiles are available from https://www.canon.co.uk/printers/inkjet/pixma/professional_photo_printers/icc_profiles/#href-Support, as Bruce says it's unlikley that HP will supply a profile for Canon paper, but most third-party paper providers will.
Set Color Matching to 'None' and add the correct profile in the 'Printers and settings' in QImage. Once you have set it up, save the setting as a printer setup file.

If you install the 3880 on your desk PC you should be able be able to save 'Jobs' as well as 'Sessions'. The Job files only reference the printer, not the individual driver files. You would need the same ICC profiles on both machines.

I think I would keep them on the portable disc. You don't need to worry about it having a different drive letter as you can set the 'open' folder in the same way

Brian

Tony

You can change the 'save' folder with the folder icon to the right of the address:

'Page' in QI is the printable area, ie paper size minus margins, so your readings are correct. You need the 'Borderless' option in the driver if you want to use the full area, it may help to turn 'Borderless Overspray' off in Edit>Preferences>Print and Page Formatting.

Brian

This is normal expected behavior. 'Fit to Paper' expands the image to include the printer margins, which will be printed as separate slivers on four extra pages.   'Fit to Paper' is not designed for your use, it's an extremely useful  feature for printing photos with white borders centrally on printers with un-even borders. In your case, only use 'Fit To Page'. If you are using a non-standard print size, most printers will not allow borderless printing, so the margins will always be there.

Brian

I get the 'Out Of Bounds' box as well. Looks like a minor bug for Mike to fix.

Brian

My Epson 3880 has very different margins for A3 Plain Paper (front loading slot) and Art paper (rear loading slot), perhaps this is the problem.

Mike, I use the Chrome 2011 skin, and in 108 the selected print size is white, and can't be easily seen. Screenshot attached.

Brian

Until then, if you change the extension to just 'tif' QI will see them

The 'Template' function in QI will do exactly what you want. You add the blank 'Template' image which is at the end of the thumbnails to the page, then add your caption using 'Floating Text' in the 'Edit' page, and save it as a 'Layout'. You call up thelayout/template using the 'Custom' option on the 'Prints' tab then drag as many photos as you require onto it.

I'm not an expert on templates but there are people here who are

Brian

Mike
I would prefer them on the Prints tab as that's what I have open most of the time with the new layout, and I would only use the Printers tab to check that I've loaded the right settings at the start of a printing session. This is just my thought  at the moment, others may work differently and it may change with time.

Brian

I've just had a thought, perhaps you could put a 'Show More Info' button on both pages.
