Fred:
Thanks for your help. I think I have solved the problem. I found the place on the Qimage interface to get to my paper profiles which all seem to be there.
So I am still curious, as to where, spool/driver/color is but it is no longer "life" threatening.

Yes this is a two part question. The first problem is that I cannot get to System 32 but I don't have anything called spool. I have spoolss.dll and spoolsv. Any advice on how I can get to spool\drivers\color?
If I can get there I can check to see what profiles are in there. If I don't have what I need I might have to request you send me the zip file.
The second part of the question was in relationship to the Qimage Interface. How would I select the paper profile to use?
Thank you for your help and patience. Merrill

Mike's Software / Qimage / Paper Profiles

Am running a new Windows 7 computer. Downloaded qimage v.2007.172, because I was a registered user in the past. Also running Epson 4900.
I don't know how to get to the paper profiles in Qimage. Used to be a box that you would push to change the paper profile.
Also, would my paper profiles be in Qimage. If not, how do I get them there and where would I find them on my computer.
Thanks for your help

I have run several nozzle checks, I have changed the cartridge and ran additional nozzle checks. I still get a greyed yellow using Qimage.
I am using Espson Inks only.

Yes, I have the ICM marked and no color management. No, I don't print for other folks.
You see original on that screen shot only beacuse the last image was the original size. Often I size in Photoshop, save and open from Qimage. Othr times I size in Qimage. The profile in Photoshop is Adobe 1998.
I have always used the SRGB color profile in Qimage but I changed it just the other day to Adobe 1998 because I was trying to figure out what was wrongand thought that might be the problem. Per your suggestion I have changed it back to sRGB.
For me, the most interesting thing is that the only color with the problem is the yellows. There must be a way in Qimage to counterbalance the greyed yellows. I am not sure know how to manage the colors in Qimage other than the Saturation Box. Even then it is hard to tell how much saturation is being applied as I can see it on the screen but not on the printed image. Is it just a game of playing with that saturation setting until the image prints correctly. I think once I find out what to do I can apply it to all the images.
Of course, I am guessing here.
Thanks for your time and patience.

Sorry you thought I was discourteous last time. I am pretty much a novice in the printing arena and the tech specs you ask for.
No my monitor is not calibrated and I have no idea what my monitor profile is. I guess that pretty much puts the squash on this whole idea that there is a simple way to saturate the color thru Qimage. I will tell you that I am using an Epson R1800 printer which I have had for many years and it still prints well. The reason I have not calibrated my monitor is that for all these years, using Qimage, Photoshop, Publisher or whatever, the color on my prints have been extremely close to what I am seeing on the screen, and I have been satisfied. (If it ain't broke, don't fix it). Being a non-tech user I did not want to have to get into the calibration and profiles of all that is necessary if I was happy. In the last several months printing in Qimage I find that the yellows are gray. It is the only color I am having a problem with.
I am using Qimage 2010.209 and I do not use a Printer profile, but I do use Paper Profiles. I use various papers, mostly Epson. Epson Exhibition Fiber, Epson Hot Press,on rare occasions I use Epson Matte and rarer still Epson Glossy.
The Epson R1800 print dialog box is pretty basic, allowing me to pick the paper size, a short list of Epson Papers which I have to pick the closest and the option to NOT use the printer for color management. I pick the true paper profile from Qimage.
I have changed the yellow ink cartridge and run several Head Cleanings and Alignments. There seems to be no issue with the yellow head.
When I say I have used the printer for other programs, I recently did a color brochure in Microsoft Publisher and the colors were terrific.
Looks like I am not running a fully managed color process.
I have attached the properties page from Qimage.
Thanks for your time.

Mike's Software / Qimage / Another Color Question

Printing in Qimage the yellows are very grey. I have saturated further in Photoshop but it doesn't seem to do much good. I have tried increasing the yellow saturation in the adjust tab up to 50 and although it seems a tad better on the screen it doesn't print yellower.
I am using PS CS5 with an Adobe 1998 color profile.
Is there another adjustment I can make in Qimage to saturate the yellows more.
It is not the yellow in the printer. I have changed the cartridge, there is no blockage and when printing from other programs the yellow prints fine.
Are there any other adjustments I can make in Qimage to saturate a particluar color?
Thanks for any advice.

Mike's Software / Qimage / Warm colors have changed
|

I have been using Qimage for at least 5 years. Always, what I see on the Qimage screen is what I get with the print. Just today, what I see on the Qimage Screen is not what I am getting with the print. The warm colors seem to have desatured quite a bit.
I am unsure what this is about.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
