Title: Canon Pattern Print Feature equivilent.
Post by: Screwdriver on August 19, 2016, 03:50:55 PM
Just re upped my sub with QIU....still the best!

Is there an equivalent to Canon's Pattern Print in Print Studio Pro?

Thanks!

You'd better explain what pattern print is.
I did  a search but didn't see a decent explanation. I did see images similar to the one attached below, made in a minute in QU.

It's a way to take a single image and it will print a proof sheet with colors tweaked within a range and the info shown below each image.

Here is a screen.

I got that wrong then.  ::)
I'm not quite sure whether that amount of variation and on those tiny prints sizes is much use. With a good colour management and profiles, what I see on the screen is pretty close to what is printed, any QU edit variations can be saved as a different filter and printed as required as a "test strip".

Thanks!

Since I used Qimage last and even printed, I built a new comp, my good photo monitor that was easy to calibrate is gone. Using 3rd party inks for my Pro-100 and some generic paper stock has been a challenge. I have it down to a point and just adjust for a cyan shift I am getting. The Pattern Print option was easy to get a good print....but I like working in Qimage better.

Grabbing some paper tomorrow with ICC profiles and shifting back to Canon ink...hopefully will iron things out.
