Yep, it's selected. When I place the mouse over the image in the queue, then right click, the "Remove from Queue" is grayed out. Never had any problems before the last couple of upgrades. I don't use Qimage every day so I'm not sure with what version this problem started. I may go back and reload past versions just to see...

In Studio ver 2010.108 I am unable to use a right mouse click (or the Del key) to select "Remove from Queue". It is grayed out on the selection menu. The "Delete Page" function will do the same thing, but takes another keystroke. "Clear Queue" works fine, but of course it takes all images out. PC XP ProSP3.

The 3800 only flushes the single matte or photo black cartridge, not the full set from what I understand. It obviously goes through some type of flush given the noises it makes during the change.

Also, thanks for the info on long prints on the 48xx. Didn't know that Qimage would override Epson's driver - why won't it do that on the 3800???

Another reason for using the 38xx series as opposed to the 48xx or bigger is the cost of the black ink change from photo to matte. The 3800 is a couple of bucks, all of the others are big $$$ since they flush the system. At least one site quotes the change costing $75USD on a 4800. I think it's lower on the 4880 as they now use a "conversion kit" but it takes 10-15 minutes and still uses a lot of ink. It doesn't take too many changes to pay for a RIP on the 38xx. And, if you want to go longer than 90 inches on the 48xx, you'll need a RIP anyway. The Epson driver is limited to 90 inches.

Sorry for my mis-information on the driver. I was working from memory so I went back and uploaded the driver (verson 5.50 for XP). I do see that you can and should select !CM and No Color Management. My bad!

You might want to take the file and have it printed elsewhere (a friend? a drugstore?) to see if it is correct. If none of your programs are printing it correctly that would at least eliminate the file as a suspect. Are other prints still correct?

If you decide to go new, I'd highly recommend trying to fit the 3800. I've had mine since they were introduced (it replaced my 2200) and it has done nothing but print extrodinary images (more than 4500 at present) since I bought it. The 2880 is also a nice machine based on what I have read.

re: "Using latest Driver from Epson, and it’s several years old.  Too tired to look it up.  It is set to ICM, No Color Adjustment, and the proper paper is selected.  I’ve had the 2200 and Qimage for several years.  I certainly know the basics."

I don't believe you can select both "ICM" and "No Color Management" at the same time. Select ONLY "No Color Management".

You also may have a corrupted driver. It might be worth the time to remove the driver and reinstall the latest version on the Epson site for your OS. Just do a search on "2200" and select the first item it brings up.

Another basic question: what driver version are you using and with what operating system? Thanks - we all wanna help     As a matter of general information, the green and/or reddish casts you mention are usually caused when the Epson driver is NOT set to "no color adjustment" (in the "advanced" section of the driver), which is where they need to be for any software to control the final print color.

Edit addition: you also need to select the proper paper in your Epson driver, even though you are not using it for your color control. The driver determines the ink flow.

I'm confused! In your first post, you say "Everything looked normal till the print came off the printer.  (Epson 2200).  The red jerseys came out orange." This would indicate that the monitor was correct and the prints were wrong.

Then you say, in the same post, "The jerseys look red in every program I open, including Qimage.  After the prints came off the printer, I did a Soft Proof, and there the jerseys show up orange.  They show up red in the Qimage thumbnails, in the preview, in Nikon View, ViewNX, CS3 and ACR." This would indicate the monitor is now wrong as well as the print.

Then you say you tried Fred's solution and the prints came out green but the monitor soft proof looked OK. Am I correct so far?

If so, there are at least two possible problems. I would look first at the profile. You don't state why you installed a "custom printing profile" but since you are using Epson paper, just download their standard profile and see if anything improves. If not, I would look at an inking problem, such as a clogged nozzle or two.

If neither works, try printing out of one of your other programs and see what happens. That would help isolate where the problem is. I'm suspecting your 2200 driver settings and/or profile...

To avoid the propellant in canned air, I use the American Recorder CO2 system. Works great, especially at those dirt bike races!

Depending on the paper, it is also possible that you printed on the wrong side. Don't laugh - it can happen 

I don't believe the 48xx series will print 4x6 sheets, and maybe not even 5x7's. All Epson documentation refers to 8x10 as the smallest media the printer can handle. I would guess that is why smaller sizes are not listed in the driver. If you need to print single sheets of these sizes, I would recommend the 3800.
