I have had R1800 and R1900 and have found the only ink that will perform trouble free is Epson's. I say this after using various brands and cartridges for many years. Takes a lot of experience to experiment with ink types, being able to recognize problems.

You did not say what type ink you were using!!

Fred, I don't regret opening that can of worms, the contents could not have been better. Your tutorials are appreciated.

Don

Excuse the off-topic but there haven't been any postings for several days. Always look forward to reading them each morning. Fred and Terry do such fine work.

Don

Thanks for the explanation, Mike. I must have known that at one time but am entering my senior years (78) I had to review the instructions and must have skimmed over that part on the gray scales. I did print with the latest profile and they were definitely acceptable. Many thanks to you and Fred for the assistance.

Don

I have tried so many variations the corners couldn't be the problem as I am very careful in the placement. What do you mean go below the gray scale? Not where the corner marks are placed? Used the BRIGHT in desperation thinking there would be enough change to see the problem. My scanner is the Epson V700. Followed all instructions I could find including using RAW mode in Vuescan. Thanks for the help. (Added the attachment)

Don,
Usually, when the readings are so far out of whack as you show in your snaps, it indicates that you might not have got the angle corners locked onto the correct places.
Most of the time, people forget to go below the gray scale.

I also question why you are using the BRIGHT target. If I remember correctly, that was special for some older Epson's like a 1270 and a 1280 that had special needs.
If you are using Vuescan, (you didn't mention which scanner), try to scan in RAW mode and save as a TIF.

Maybe something will jog the memory???

I am having extreme problems with building a printer profile. I now have a Color Munki Display which I used and the best I can tell looks good and pictures print well using Epson profiles, OEM ink and R1900. I am attaching two captures of many profiles attempts which were similar. I am hoping that someone has a hint as to what is wrong as I have followed all instructions using the setup in QU and setup for Vuescan. Even to a lay person the dynamic range is certainly low on both.  The first is using Printer Target - PP and the second is Printer Target - Bright. When I first purchased Profile Prism, more than a couple of years, I had reasonable success with it, now this which I don't understand.

The link worked for me. Excellent pictures!

Don

The video helped in pointing out the "Freehand Placement" must be turned on to prevent automatic placement of template elements. That was my major problem. Thanks again, Fred.

Don

I have been using Qimage versions Pro, Studio, and Ultimate for several years, yet I suddenly feel dumb as a rock. I thought I knew about templates but after several experiments I found otherwise. Is there any template knowledge source other than Qimage Functions and Qimage - Learn by Example? These are limited to few examples.

The predominate questions I have are:

• What determines the template on the sample page? My sample page has 3 gray 3.5x5 templates.
• How to create template 3.5x5, 2 to page, continue page after page with 2 per page?

Don

Fred, your help is very much appreciated. It is good to have experts to rely on in time of need. I will work out the problem.

Don

I freely admit that I am not an advanced user of QU. I started my project using templates, what is it you see that indicates I may not be using templates? It is possible I have a mishmash QU features in-advisably used and that is why you can't duplicate the issue but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Perhaps it would be better is I scrapped this project and start over, having learned from it.

Don

I believe I mentioned earlier that the second text happened when I tried to edit the first. Consequently, I had two which I couldn't delete because the little hand wouldn't appear.

The issue now has been reduced to the top photo's text on all pages cannot be edited. Photos on the bottom are OK. There is no difference between photo's selected or not selected.

Don

If I said border I meant margin, meaning paper space around pictures. I will try to send a snap using the software that Terry mentioned. In changing position of picture and bringing the problem to the bottom of the page I now have the little hand to edit the text. As you can see, I had two test entries and could not remove or position either one. Hope to have some success now. Still, any photo in the upper half of the page will not allow text editing.

Thanks, Terry.
