Please clarify what you mean by nudge. In the page editor, you can move prints around and also resize them easily.

Hi All,
New to forum, got new Win 11 computer and moving photo programs over. I moved Qimage and updated and have run into a problem. I have not used AI in Qimage before and am getting the following message: PRINTER DRIVER AI Driver AI status for Epson ESC/P-R V4 Class Driver: This printer is not compatible with Driver AI I did not have a problem with my old Win 11 computer. When I click on media size, I get only 4 selections, user defined is not listed. When I select printer setup, I do not get the usual Epson setup screens. Can I turn off the AI and Qimage will reconizge the Epson printer driver? I am puzzeled to say the least.....Thanks in advance, Bob |

...more of a discussion than any specific question.
With Windows 10 I've always had prints a bit darker than I'd like. The usual advice, that I've often given to people myself, is to adjust the monitor to match the prints. That leaves it too dark for other purposes. I recently got a Calibrite device and set my monitor to 100 nits, which is reasonable for my room and lighting. Prints still too dark. I've used Red River profiles and Prism profiles I make myself with the same results. Soft proofing was never close. You don't really want to know how much paper and ink I've used over the years making test prints and profiles. A few weeks ago, I upgraded my computer to something faster and with Windows 11. Shouldn't make any difference, but now my prints are perfect and soft proofing matches well. Go figure. I bet I got my Canon PRO 100 about ten years ago, maybe more. I print sporadically, from every week to several months of no activity. I recently did a nozzle check and head alignment. Perfect as they've always been. In the entire time I've had the printer I've never run an unclog or cleaning. Am I just lucky or do people do a lot more unclogging than is really needed? Note that I only use Canon inks. Sorry, couldn't sleep this morning! edit- still have some dark prints, hard to predict! |

Hi Mike, I'm coming back to photography - managed to revive my Epson T50. But i have forgotten a lot of how things were....I vaguely remember how i could nudge a photo and also size it dynamically...and i can't find that feature anymore. I"m using 2022.120, not the latest. I tried it on 2022.120 but it wasn't the same - didn't work like how i remembered it.

Must be a bug where when we added violet to the list years ago, we didn't count it in that error message. This is the first time it has come up. Will fix it in the next release. For now, I guess just select any other second color.
Regards, Mike |

Hi.
Have a look ont the printscreen, I want print with the violet ink, so I checked the right ink and I receive a warning message : 'You must check at least one color.' ! Why ? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rJ4PaOE_DBVSx6GMamU7LAh_d5kD7RBF/view?usp=sharing |

It is under the section labelled "Printer Profile Rendering Intent". So if there's no printer profile, it doesn't apply. It is left enabled because you might want to change the settings even with no printer profile selected so that when you DO select a printer profile at a later time, it uses your preferred settings since those details aren't displayed on the main window.

I see. Then maybe in the future updates these options could be made unselectable in the Printer Profile OFF mode or it may puzzle someone like me too

No. The printer profile will be turned "OFF" so neither of those apply. Rendering intent and BPC only apply when using a profile.
