Cant seem to find adding a floating text where is this located, I have a white border around the image and want to place a name of the print?

Always pick 720 unless you are in a hurry and can't wait for a little more processing time.

I have an image that I'm printing to 15x20 and it works out to be 422ppi, would setting qimage to 720dpi have any benefit or should I set it to 360dpi and have it scale the image down before printing?

thank u much mike

A test strip is a crop of an image so there's a test strip button on the cropping tab in the full page editor.  Just set your print to the full/final size you want and click the test strip button until you get a piece as small as you want.  Or... click the test strip button once and after that, choose a new size which will be your test strip size.  You can move the crop around on the same cropping tab to get the exact piece you want.

Example: add a print at 13x19 because that's the final size you want.  Click the test strip button and then choose 4x6 size.  You'll get a 4x6 test strip of your original 13x19.

there is/was a way to emulate large prints by printing slices of the image, anybody remember how or where i can look thx

Thank you for this tip! But I am not sure if it works, because I have deleted all but the jobs. The name of the printer maybe still the same but some of the media type names changed.
I will see - thanks!

I usually try to do the same: use exactly the same settings as when the profile was created.  But I've found over the years that the quality selection usually has little influence for the printers I've tested.  One profile should be good for most quality settings but there is a small difference.

Did you print the original targets from Qimage?  You could always open the job log and recall the job where you printed the profiling target (if you did that).  Or just pick an old job that you know had the correct settings.  Then after opening the job, just open properties and look at what the driver settings were for that job.

Yes, this seems to be the best.
Now it behaves, as expected. At least I do not need to check everything like the right profile and can use the excellent sharpening of QImage.
Meanwhile I have configured again all my media types again.
My only concern is that I'm not entirely sure if I'm using the same driver settings now as I was when I created the profile. Do you have any experience of how much influence the choice of quality has in this respect?
Many, many thanks for your support!

Since the P900 driver isn't responding like any other Epson driver, I would recommend turning off all AI options and then repeating the Shift-properties again.  That is, click on the AI Copilot button at the top of the main window and then uncheck all 5 boxes under Driver AI at the bottom.  That will make Qimage behave like a typical "dumb" program like Lightroom, Photoshop, etc. where it doesn't try to do anything "fancy" with the driver and just assumed you know how to operate the driver.  Then you are responsible for all the driver settings and you'd have to set them manually like other programs.
