Terry,

Yes, you are right.  Thank you very much.

In fact, I found that setting myself last night and got a good accurate print.  I'm in the middle of a rush job and didn't want to mess with installing
a new driver for now, but I did take another look at all the modes and found that one.  They certainly do seem to have tried to make it hard to
turn CM off, both by confusing terminology and by burying it deep.

Now all I need to do is to figure out some of the some of the other aspects of the Qimage interface and I think I will become a customer.

Thanks again.

All this help is great -- thanks for that.

All this praise for Qimage is also good, and I'd like to become a happy Qimage user, but I do still have one minor
hurtle to get over, namely, on my driver, the color mode dropdown does NOT contain "No Color Correction".
The three choices are Color, Monochrome (Photo), and Monochrome.  Anybody have any idea where turning off
CM is located on this driver?

If its relevant, I'm on Vista Ultimate, and my driver version is shown here:

The driver is old, but it is what came with the printer.

Terry,

Thanks for your quick response.

The paper I'm using is Hahnemuhle Monet Canvas, and the profile is the one supplied by Hahnemuhle for this paper on my printer.

The image was saved out of Photoshop, so it certainly has an aRGB profile.  The hotbar shows "ICC: *Adobe RGB (1998)*"

Here's the job properties box:

Here's four shots of the driver setup:

Double CM was the first thing I thought of, but I don't see any setting in the driver to turn off CM.
Since I had first set up Qimage to do CM, I have been assuming that maybe something the Qimage-Driver
communication has told the driver not to do CM.

Any help would be appreciated.  I would like to join the "1000's" of happy Qimage users, but I've got
to have accurate colors first.

BTW, can images be inserted directly in this forum?  I don't see how to do it.

Thanks.

Hi,

Qimage newbie here.

I have a Canon ipf6100.  I've been using the Canon ipf plugin for Photoshop to do my printing, and have been getting excellent color correspondence between my
(calibrated) monitor and the prints.  I downloaded Qimage Ultimate Trial this evening and tried it because I have read so many good things about Qimage.
I set it up to have Qimage manage the colors, and pointed Qimage at the same profile I was using from Photoshop and printed an aRGB jpg.  Well, the colors are
distinctly off.  They are lighter and more saturated.  So much so I won't be buying Qimage if this is what I am stuck with.  Anybody have any suggestions for me?

Many thanks.
