Our photoclub frames are all 70 cm x 50 cm. What we currently do is that we place a mat around the photo in photoshop at that that exact size, center or place the photo within it how we like, and than print that photo with crop marks so we can cut the paper afterwards.

I tried fiddling aroung with the photo mats option in QImage, but I can't get it to have a perfect sized photo + mat of 70x50cm.

Can it be done?

Hi all,

Our photoclub has been printing on an Epson SC-P7000 for a few years. The only paper we have been using so far is the Permajet Oyster with a custom ICC profile. After tweaking the profile it gave us overall great results. Initially I tried the Permajet ICC profile but the colors on our prints where always too blue. We then had a custom profile made (by the company who installed the printer) and while the colors were much better, our prints where consistently too dark. I resolved that issue by setting the gamma to 1.8 in the driver (setting under color controls). I never quite understood why I had to do that though. So I guess my main questions regarding that are:

1. Is it common for the ICC profile provided by the paper manufacturer (for that specific printer) to give poor results?
2. Is it normal to have to activate color controls and set the gamma to 1.8 in order to get a correct brightness in our prints (while using a custom made profile)?


Further on, recently I wanted to experiment with some Matte Paper and bought a roll of Permajet Matt Plus 240. For lack of a custom ICC profile I downloaded the provided ICC profile from permajet, and switched the ink to "Matte Black" and the results are really bad. The colors seem to be ok, but the prints, especially in the dark parts are very faded, lacking overal contrast. I'm not sure what is happening exactly and what I should be looking for.

• Would it be better to make a custom profile? (we are thinking of buying a profiling device, colorchecker studio or the one from spyder)
• Do I need to adjust something on the photos (curves, levels)?

I did not soft proof before, but afterwards when I did, I actually noticed I have the same result on my screen, (very faded and lacking contrast) and when I check the gammut, it seems that the darkers parts are consistenly out of gammut with that paper/ICC profile. I guess I'm looking for some tips and advice and perhaps a methodology on how to tackle this issue.

First, you are posting in the wrong forum because you didn't order Qimage Ultimate: you ordered Qimage One.

Second, we have received NO emails from you and you couldn't have been trying to reach us about non-receipt for 3 weeks because you just ordered 11 days ago (on March 16).

Third, the registration email with download instructions was sent to the same email address you are using here on the forum: it was sent when you ordered on March 16 at 3:49pm eastern time.  Please check your spam, junk, promotions, and other folders in your Gmail online as the message probably got auto-filtered.  I also just sent your Qimage One registration email again today to help you locate it.  So now you have two copies: one from March 16 when you ordered and second one from today.

Mike

Hello,

I purchased Qimage for $79.00. I received a verification of payment, but I HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY LICENSE NUMBER.

I sent two emails to your Support address, and I gotten no response from you in three weeks. I cannot use the version I downloaded because the trial period has expired.

PLEASE SEND MY LICENSE NUMBER, or I will void the payments with my credit card company.

Thanks, Drew Harty

Thanks, I'll check it out but it seems I've seen all the videos!
Maybe i've just been missing a key entry. I'll look later today!
We need a video dedicated to just canvas etc!!!

Mike's video below should help ?

Hello Qimage community, my name is John and I'm new to Qimage. I bought it to print to canvas from a roll but just can't figure out where all the settings are. The tutorials don't seem to show that, they're mostly for sheet goods and sheet sizes.
What I have not been able to find is where to input the width of the canvas roll? It would seem obvious that IF I choose "roll" anything, IT would automatically ask the width but it does not. The list stays on sheet sizes.
So What am I doing wrong or not doing at all?
I've looked at various YouTubes but they're all geared for sheet goods. The only refernce here, I think it's in "using borders" and still does not go over how to set up a roll size.
I'm hoping somebody is home that knows!?
If you can point me to a video specifically for canvas roll set up, that might do the trick?
Thanks so much in advance but I only have a couple days to print these!!!
There is no phone support at Qi is there??
John

That's not up to Qimage: that's all the printer driver.  So make sure you have the latest Windows driver installed from the Epson website.  Then make sure your media size is set to something that will fit in the cassette: for example if you have any paper larger than 8.5 x 11 selected, the cassette selections are not valid.

Since the driver is "feeding" Qimage with those selections, you can also just click the "Properties" button and go into the driver and make your selections there; if there is something wrong that won't allow you to select cassette 1 or 2, the driver will tell you.

Epson 8550 is missing for source cassette 1 and 2, the others are present after migrating to new drive. All extra made icc had to be manually installed too, but somewhat logic thou. Win10pro to win11 pro.
Using Epson photo + have the cassettes as source
so somewhere Q isn't seeing cassette drivers are on PC.

Qimage has multiple search capabilities.  If you are talking about searching for an image number like "1234", just click right above the thumbnails where it says "Search Thumbnails" and type "1234" and it'll show you only the images in the current folder with "1234" in the file name.  There's also database searching, searching for meta data, search entire folders/drives, etc. as part of the database searching capabilities but I suspect you are talking about file names.
