That seems to be perfect, exactly what I was looking for. It will be a day or so until I can actually try it out though. Thanks!

Another question somewhat related to this. I have been finding it easier to just send files to my finisher and have them print them rather than me printing and sending rolled prints to them. They are in CO, me IL.

What would the best way to go about this be and harness the signature functionality and other benefits of Qimage?


Thanks again for your quick feedback.

I did a little searching around on this and didn't find much so lets see if I can explain what I am trying to accomplish.


Background:

For the past year or so I have been using Qimage to print everything to my Canon ipf8400 with great success.  I have been signing my prints in the lower left corner with a pigment based ink pen. A couple things have prompted me to want to change this up and just add a scanned signature to the files before printing. (Main reason is an extreme level of annoyance when I mess up signing a large print.)


Issue:

I would like this signature to be approximately 5/8" tall regardless of print size.  If I add this signature to the native sized file in PS and send it thru Qimage for printing I can get a signature that comes out enlarged to something like 1.5" tall on a large 40x60 print. In my opinion this looks pretty obtrusive.   


Current workflow:

I have taken to using Qimage to resize the file to the desired print dimensions @ 300ppi. I save out a tiff and go into PS to add a 200px tall signature and then save and print that file back in Qimage.


This seems to work decent if not slightly tedious. My question is am I overlooking anything that might make this process simpler or should I be doing anything different to affect the quality of the final output?
