Title: Epson 9900 roll paper layout question Post by: ajn on April 10, 2011, 06:27:37 AM I am a new member and am considering purchasing QIMAGE ULTIMATE but I would be interested in hearing from any users with experience in laying out multiple images using 44" roll paper. Is it easy to layout say 12 - 10''x10" images and have QU determine the most efficient layout? Are there any conflicts with the print driver in terms of paper sizing and auto cutting? I am fighting with the Epson print settings using the 44" wide roll and would like to simplify things and do batch printing. Any advice/experience would be appreciated.

Good morning, Take a look at the screen snap attached. Click to enlarge. Is that what you need? 12- 10 x 10 prints on a 44" wide roll. If so, I'll walk you through.

http://www.ddisoftware.com/qimage-u/learn.htm The size of the paper doesn't matter: just imaging doing everything in that video on a 44 x whatever piece of paper. It all works the same: there's almost no limit to what you can do.

I have viewed many of the videos ( very helpful ) and assumed that batching on roll paper was possible, and hopefully as easy as it looks. I will be printing multiple 10" square images of high resolution ( 2215 dpi scans of 10"x10" negs - 1.2GB files! ) files that I was planning on processing in Photoshop to colour correct, crop and compress ( if required ) before printing with QI Ultimate. There will also be prints of various size up to 44" wide by ??" long. I may have further questions once I get QI up and running so thank you for offering to run me through the process. Your help is much appreciated.

I do have an unrelated question: Is it advisable to enter the factory calibration ( if that is the correct term ) rather than purchase/borrow monitor calibration hardware to determine a profile for the monitor ICC in the Job Properties box? Monitor/printer calibration isn't critical for my work, but I'd like to be "close" when I compare the print to what I see on the screen. I have a 19" Samsung SyncMaster 2233 ( nothing fancy). Thanks again! AJN Title: Re: Epson 9900 roll paper layout question Post by: Terry-M on April 11, 2011, 09:41:16 PM Hi AJN

Previously I have found it of great benefit on a "budget" monitor although I have a "mid-range" model now.This is always the first stage of getting into colour management. Without monitor to print matching you'll probably end up being disappointed at some stage. ::) Terry. |
