I had this problem on a new Z3200, after exchanging a lot of technical parts without solution, changed the printer is still under warranty.
Now I have another problem in Z3200 printer when printing in rapid quality
Qimage is not the problem, the problem is on HP

Thanks Mike, color management are working perfectly on qu14.111

Mike,
I reinstall qu14-110 and do more tests. The problem is interpolation bug.
I do all my tests turning off interpolation and setting off posters and prints quality, now setting fusion and 3oodpi in poster and prints and finally color is correct.

Hi Mike,

Good news

qu14-101 Running perfect, no problems, colors very nice.

Confirm color upgrade in 102 version, they don't do a nice job on HP.

Best Regards.

Hi Fred,

Fred,
Thank you for your support.

Is possible I do something wrong, but remember, my print studio has a Hahnemuhle and Canson certificate of excellence in fine art print, My studio are totally calibrated, including wall using Mussel N, Calibrated monitors, illumination with no metamerism, white floor and no windows or colours changing my ambient.  I teach workflow and colour management on photographic graduate university course and I use Qimage a long time. I not a newbie, but is possible I do not se something.

Now I uninstall again QU2014 and reinstall version qu13-123 and work perfect, unsintall qu13 and reintall Qu14 and problema comes again. I think is some kind of bug on new version.

I use many images and diferent papers,  look the second images, my today tests only after lunch.

The main image is a color test chat created by me 3 years ago and I use it for verification testing of color and visual inspection before using the I-One Pro to have an output with perfect color profile. This image at: http://www.aphoto.net.br/aphoto-ref.tif

I really like Qimage and my workflow in the studio printing is based on it, which need information I am available.

Thank you
Alberto dy

I Fred,

All settings are the same of your images.

Yes, I try many images and profiles in JPG and tiff all whith embedded profile,  using Photoshop, Lightroom and the same image and profile on Qimage, every time on Qimage U 2014 don’t  manage colour, but using in same way Qimage 2013 is perfect.

I uninstall Qimage14, delete all files in windows and make a new and clean install, the problem happens again, no differences.

Is possible Qimage14 color management work in a different way them 2013 version and some bug in communication? My problem started after doing installation of the first version of 2014.

Thank you for your help

Hi, Fred and Terry,

I don´t know what’s happens, isn’t printer problem, I do many tests on my 3 HP Z3200, change computers, change papers to Photographic RC, Fine art Matte and Fine art glossy, change profiles, do new profile and results are the same. If I do something wrong I do 3 times and don’t know what is it?

I spent much paper in tests on RAG papers like Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308 and Canson RAG 310 the problems are much evident., see attach.

All prints on QU14 have the same result with print without colour management, but if I print using QU13 is perfect, something has changed and QU14 don´t manage colours to my printers.

I check again all settings and don´t know where the problem is. I reset printer setting and don’t problem solve, now I can uninstall QU14 and use the old one to do my job.

thanks

Perfect Fred, I only include women, computer and HP printer :-)

Hi Fred

I use 2 HP Z3200 24 and one 44 and the driver produced by HP in a stupidity  contest has many bugged and don't show good quality print preview. That’s why I ask about possibility to have on QU

I can repeat, image softproof as good, no problem, don’t change. I need all print preview including lines and/or crop marks, if is possible soft proof inner is nice but not a principal feature.

The zoom bar give me a zoom only on image not all page and the preview on my monitor is not biggest them only one inch. If is possible something like crtl + +  and Crtl + -  on all images will be very nice.

I don’t use RAW and some others features like red eye or image adjusts, all of this I use external photo editor. I only realy need Print preview and an option to lines and crops on layout
I’m a 3 years QI user.  All I say is my experience and my opinion. Are only my suggestions to Mike improve next generation of QU.

Thanks

Hi Terry,


I think is possible window auto adjusted to monitor size or a user set is better and simple.
I don’t have a fixed layout, every day I need different formats and do a white square and place manually is most complex to print without everything and cut manually, if I have a lines or/and crop marks on layout is very simplest and most precise.

Sorry you don’t understand, I want option to fix crop marks or lines on layouts
 


To image is nice but is not for all page. I like to see exactly what I print


The attached below is a my monitor print screen on 24" paper on 44" or 50" is worse



I hate, is non friendly and usable, but OK if is only my opinion.  

Thank you

Thank you Terry,
Use white square and paste image is a trick to do manually every time, I need a friendly command to automate processes, may be on new version Mike do what I want:

1.   Full screen print preview including crop marks an lines, is good also print soft proof, but only a nice print preview with zoom solve many problems.
2.   Better crop marks including option to crop marks or lines the layout.
3.   Redraw the Full Page Editor, including zoom, guides and rulers. I Use a 30” monitors and now when use 44”paper the full page preview is too small, impossible to nice use.  Fullpage editor also need  to show solid or dashes lines edges. I think is the same of new Full Screen Print Preview but edited.
4.   Redraw filter and image editor eliminating floating window preview and give direct full image preview and editing including zoom in and out.

What other users want in new versions?

Now stay waiting QU new versions, I hope Mike give a QU with less tricks and more friendly commands and direct functionalities.

Thanks

I use the QU to some time and I have some doubts:

I do not find a form to preview the page to be printed including the crop marks on full screen or still one full screen soft proof of the page including the possibility of two different profiles ICC and not only of each individual image. I want to see exact what I print, exists this?

In a 43,2cm (17”) paper roll, I want to make an impression with 30cmX30cm of paper being been the image of some rectangular formats with internal minimum margins of 1,5cm centered in remain of making impressions with paper 12cmX12cm and images of diverses sizes with minimum internal margins of 1 cm. How I make this?
My tests give me crop marks on image margins and not on square paper defined in template. I already tried mounting layout but it does not do what I want.

I use HP 3100 and 3200, I don’t know if it’s important.
I leave in Brasil, sorry my English, is not my first language.

Thanks
