Bingo, Fred. Thanks for your help! The color on my latest print is perfect. So, I bought QU. Got registered and am going to start learning more details so I can use it more effectively.

Installed from the e-mail download link and registered the software. In the process the installer asked about where to save the QU data. I did not select the default, but rather the Documents and Settings option. I was expecting the QU data folder to be somewhere in My Documents folder. I wanted it there because I use Folder Clone to back up all my art files and want to have QU jobs backed up also. Can’t find it! My next task is to learn how the jobs feature works so I can include it in my work flow.

Would you be able to guide through this, or is it better for me to start a new post?

Hi Fred,

Thanks a lot for your quick reply. I apologize for my sketchy info about my set-up. HP Omen laptop (Windows 10), Cintiq 22HDT monitor, Wacom Color Manager calibration, Epson 2880 printer, Red River papers (with matching ICC profiles), Software Painter 2018, Art Rage, Paint Storm Studio.

Workflow: Create art.... export as PSD.... Open in QI... (This is where I am stuck.)

Did as you suggested measuring the white. Canvas background in Painter 2018 - 255, 255, 255. In QImage background - 247, 247, 247

I have attached the set-up in QI that gave me the light grey background.

I have to say that I import the PSD with all the layers present (Not flattened) I have no clue how to find the layers in QI so maybe that is where I should adjust the white?

Should I be importing my art in QI as a flat image and not as layers?

Anyway, Fred, thank you for your patience dealing with me on this. I really want this to work as I am getting a handle on just how powerful QI is.

Hi, I’m trying out QImage before buying. My interest is in printing Painter 2018 art with accurate monitor to printer rendering. Well, on that score, very good. Yesterday I printed a greeting card. Color is true, but the entire background is a light grey except for a 1/4” white boarder around the card. The card syock  is white. Wondered, is there a setting I need to fix or did I do something in the set up to cause this to happen? I tried to find out what was going on, but frankly the learning curve is too steep at this point in time. So here I am. I just want some piece of mind to help me decide to buy or not. Thanks anyone who can help. Jimmy
