1  Mike's Software / Qimage / Re: Qimage on a Mac on: February 07, 2011, 06:16:21 PM
For a long time I was a PC user and only ever used Qimage for my printing needs, be that local printing or generating large files for third party printing, usually at Mpix.
Earlier this year I made the switch to the Mac platform.
Overall the experience has been very positive, but the inability to use Qimage without installing a Windows OS on my system was a major frustration.
I have experience with Parallels and Boot Camp and while both work fine, for a variety of reasons I chose not to put either on my Mac.
I now, however, have great news for fellow Mac users who have the same reluctance to install a Windows OS on their Macs.
Qimage now works using Codeweavers Crossover for Mac
For those not familiar with Codeweavers Crossover (http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/), it allows some Windows applications to be installed and run natively in Mac OS X without installing a Windows OS - and at a fraction of the cost. 
I tried this approach earlier this year but without success -- I kept getting an error message.  It would seem, however, that either the latest release of Crossover, or of Qimage, has fixed the error.
The only compromise is that apparently it will only run in full screen view (a bit large on a 27" iMac!) and the screen rendering of the images is poor (pixelated), but the output files are just fine.
FYI - I have no personal or professional connection with Codeweavers, so this is not a sales pitch. I just wanted to let other Mac and Qimage users know their is another option for combining the two.
I hope others are as delighted about this is as I am.
Cheers!


What version of QI are you running?

Great on both accounts. Thank you.

Is it possible to plug in an external drive and have Qimage open files from there. Also has anyone used Epson ABW driver and run thru Q. Is that possible? And on a final note - Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Yup.
5  Mike's Software / Qimage / Re: Qimage Will Not Retain Paper Size on: September 30, 2010, 09:14:19 PM
Figured it out. See, just knowing you were there for support did it. Thank you.

It's the epson 9800. QI will only show 8 1/2 x 11 I'm trying to print to a user defined roll paper banner 36x22. This just started. Printed fine yesterday using user defined sizes. I went into the control panel and picked that size for default but that did not do anything. QI is stuck on the letter size. I'm so glad you are there. I'm stressing! I have 15 of these to print.

Sure, right in the middle of a rush job I cannot change the paper setting. I change it to the correct size in driver, click ok but QI will not hold the setting. I hope you're there. Help.

Thanks Fred, you're the best.

Right again. If I could send a prize thru email I would. Thank you. Somehow I must have checked it. So, how do I upgrade if a update comes out. And how do you re install QI if I had to change computer or something.  I guess I'm just not used to it on the pc side. Although, I did just install Colorburst Rip on an Epson GS6000. Now, there's a big boy of a printer!
10  Mike's Software / Qimage / Re: Job Logging on: September 20, 2010, 09:45:39 PM
Ok, help! What do I have turned on that printed in very small letter at the end of the print the name of the file. I have no idea how I did that. Please advise.
11  Mike's Software / Qimage / Re: Job Logging on: September 20, 2010, 09:37:49 PM
You are so good, that did the trick, thank you.
12  Mike's Software / Qimage / Re: Job Logging on: September 20, 2010, 09:33:31 PM
Ok, I did it. I'll close QI in a minute and reopen it to see if it saved my settings. I just sent another job. Thanks, I've missed you too.
13  Mike's Software / Qimage / Re: Job Logging on: September 20, 2010, 09:22:53 PM
I do have the current version of Qimage (I think) 2010.209. If I go to migrate should I just pick the log folder. Also, how do I go about if I have to update or redownload QI? Something I have not needed to do yet. Thanks for your help. I did remember where to find the rendering intent right after I posted. Aren't you surprised at how well I'm getting along with my little pc and QI. You can tell by you haven't heard from me everyday. Thanks again as always for your informative and prompt help.

I have a couple of questions - the first pertains to job logging. I have it set to manual in the prefrences but everytime I close QI it reverts to automatic. Is there a reason it doesn't keep the manual setting I have chosen.

Thank you both, that helps a lot.
