Thanks for the quick fix! Now it works as expected.

Thanks Alfons and StephenG for the reports.

2025.104 fixes this.  The problem did only occur after using the high res simulation.  Just one line of code missing: to reset the simulation flag after running a simulation.

Regards,

2025.104      May 13, 2025

Priority: High

v2025.104 includes:

• High res page simulation: See a high res simulation of your printed pages before printing, even at actual size on your monitor!  See video: https://youtu.be/D_ylFH1FnGs
• Print sizes: Updated the "More" print sizes option, particularly "Number of prints per page" and removed duplicates that are on the main size list.
• Soft proof: New option on main live view soft proof to choose the out of gamut highlight color.
• Cutout frames: Improved scaling of cutout frames so the edges of the frame do not distort when the aspect ratio doesn't match the frame.
• (Bug fix) Profile suggestion tool: Fixed the "Suggest profiles" option.
• (Bug fix) Rating: Fixed a bug where changing the user rating of images didn't work while using the preview and add feature in an album.
• (Bug fix): Fixed a bug from previous 2025.103 where printed colors are wrong after using the high res print simulation.

I meanwhile noticed that the issue shows up after I used the High Res Page Simulation.

I had the same problem with 2 images added to a saved job created with V102. Only the new added images added under V103 came out pale. After closing Qimage and opening again, the new images added under V103 came out as expected.

Something weird with colour output happened after I installed ver103 this morning. It installed normally, no issues. I'm on Win10.
Here's the sequence of events...

First job printed was fine. no issues.

Then I recalled a job I've printed many times previously and printed it.
All printer, media and CM settings were correct.
Colour output was so pale that I thought my printer had dropped a few inks. But, nozzle check was perfect.
Restarted printer, and reprinted the job. No difference, still pale.
Reverted to ver102 and reprinted the job. Colour came out correct.

I've now re-installed ver103 and tested the same job and it's printing correctly. Very strange. I've got no theories at the moment, not even a hunch. But I'm going to keep an eye on this

The Virgin Install did it - no more problems.
