Yes, with canvas no problem but try to print a wedding album spread that has framed images close to middle fold line. Even 0,5mm error is visible like hell ... (

I did a little test.

I have a simple 600x300cm image with a line right in the middle of it. You can download it here: http://www.marcinbittner.com/luzem/600x300mm.jpg

The point is to print that vertical line on the 305'th milimeter of the paper.
I have a 700mm ruler to measure everything.

Every spread below was measured. Every spread is 610mm long (24")

CASE ONE:
- Optimal Spaced
- 0.2 red border B   (not B+)
- 6 spreads added to the queue and printed
The SIZE/LOC shown equal 5 / 5 / 5 /5

Results of the placement of vertical line:
304,5
304,5
304,0
303,5

CASE TWO
- Center
- Red border or no border - same results
- The size/loc shows 4.9 4.9 5.1 5.1

10+ spreads with perfect 305mm line..


I'm puzzled. You told me Optimal spaced yet the center placement is correct.

Does that have to do with a fact that I put 610mm paper into paper size and in fact paper is sometimes 609.6? If it was problem with a printer I couldn't hit 305 line every time on CENTER placement.

One more Q. How is going to placement tab and selecting OPTIMAL from just selecting OPTIMAL option from the dropdown menu in the main program window?

I did use that option but it gave variation up to 4mm!

I'll print some today and let you know. Thanks!

I have already another album in the printer. This one is 10" = 508 x 254mm on the same 610mm roll.

When I go to size/loc I get this:



I just have to click {CENTER} and then pick Placement: [OPTIMAL] ?

And do I have to do it every time I start printing? Seems like a lot of extra work. I mean shouldn't QI just figure out that "CENTER" means center in relation to everything?

It doesn't have to be dead in the center in the end. I'm more concerned about variations in the aligment. Don't know yet if that is the issue with QI or that moving roll holder...

Ups my bad.

The image is 600 x 300mm. Red border is 0.1 mm and green is 0.5mm - it's visible in the picture.

600 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 601,2mm  - I just measured it and in fact its 601.5 (more or less).

I just want to be sure that QI places the image exactly in the vertical / horizontal center of the given space - which is 610 x 310mm

I just checked the roll :


If you can assure me it's not the software I'll look up the hardware. Once I put the roll in I can slightly push it left or right. Maybe that is the issue here?
I just placed a cardboard strip - maybe it helps:


Anyone had a similar troubles? Ipf6350

I need that sorted out because we just set up our folder to 305mm (half) and we get all kind of variations (

I'm trying to print a series of album spreads. The image is 60x30cm on 61cm (24") paper.

Here is my setup:

http://marcinbittner.com/luzem/center_setup.jpg

The image is 600x300mm + 1mm red border + 5mm green border. QI says the total is 601.2 x 301.2 mm = all is correct.
The paper is 610mm in width in real life and same goes for the print properties. The size of the space is 610x310mm.

The placement of every spread is CENTER. Not optimal etc.

PROBLEM?



There is a difference in the center placement. Sometimes its up to 3mm. I thought that it might be a paper issue but I try to fit is as much as possible to the holder. Repeat tapping etc.
I see no visual problems there.

Any clues?

I have about 14GB of free space on drive C: The spreads are 610x310mm, each file is 4-5MB.
I have 16GB of RAM in total. Printer is ipf 6350. Windows 7.

When I add 40 spreads and qimage processes them I can see a dramatic loose of free disk space.  Qimage reports it as 221MB each in the queue list.
The printer starts to print meanwhile and when the drive is empty, Qimage gives error about disk space and the printing stops midspread

I know i needs temp space but I just don't want it to do it on C: - Can I assign other drive for it?

Here is my screenshot : http://www.marcinbittner.com/luzem/qimage.jpg

Hello!

I'm trying to print 30-40 30x60cm book spreads. When I add them to queue it consumes my C:\ drive space and when it's not enough the printing is terminated.

Can you tell me how to choose different disk drive (other than my C:) for temp files so I don't have print 20 and then another 20?

Hello all!

First of all - thanks for a fantastic software! It speeds our job very much!

There is one thing missing right now. It's the fold lines.
We use Qimage to print spreads for books. Every spread is then folded in half.

It would be super nice if you could add a crop line right in the middle of an image (above and below it).

THANKS!
Marcin
