Are you using the half-sheet profile sheet from xrite to read for making your profile or the full thing with the hundreds of colors?
ColorMunki has it's own special set of patches to print and scan. The patches are not even rectangular.
You can refine a profile by scanning an area of "real" print where the colours are not correct and the software will make a special set of patches, based on the scan, to refine the existing profile. Neat I thought, I have a friend who's got one.

That is right on the money Terry, and it is exactly what I did!

I was attempting to print 5x7's, 8x10's and 13x19's)...and I did request fit to page with Crop scissor on to remedy the issue but I get a pretty wide border now.
Eljay,
Good morning!
If you got wide borders, then you likely have turned off the auto crop.
The only time Qimage will give you a warning is when you have (example) asked for a 5 x 7 print and are using 5 x 7 paper. The printable area of the 5 x 7 paper is 6.77 x 4.76.
So you can easily see that a 5 x 7 print will not fit.
So it asks you,  are you sure you wanna use more than one sheet of paper?

I have a feeling that you are forgetting to tell the print driver that you changed paper size.

I just got to remember to check it.

Maybe, but it might be a lot of other things too.  I am thinking that the print really starts when you snap the shutter.

Fred, your 8x10's arrived, and they are excellent.  There is a slightly more vibrant color to the fleshtones and wood than I am getting, but my prints are nearly identical and I am going to optimize some more with the ColorMunki.  I would say this issue is solved.

Thank you again.

My pleasure....
You realize that the Epson print (see back of print) was made using the Epson profile for the PGPP paper, and the Ilford prints were made using the Ilford profile.
If you are going to monkey with the Munki, I suggest you try to match the prints I sent you.
