Post by: mike397x on October 09, 2017, 07:46:56 PM
I using Qimage Ultimate. This is the first time this has happened
I checked all the inks, there does not to be any leakage or problems ,anywhere that I can see.
the inside of the printer looks dry,and there has not been any sudden drop in ink levels.
Any help will be appreciated,
Mike

I've done that.
I had the paper upside down, printing surface down instead of up.

When I want the really artistic look, I print the back side of Red River Blanco Matte, very impressionistic.  No, really, I did that on purpose!  Honest.  And that's been the only time, too.  I've heard that the Paper Canvas prints nicely on the back side also, not that I have any first hand experience.  I understand you must be sure to use the appropriate .icc profile to get the best effect.  I'll be sure to let y'all know if I ever do try it.  (Sure I will.)

Thanks Guys, for your replies
I found a guy who will make me a luster profile, I'm calling it, the "upside down-inside out Ultra pro Luster.
Yeah,I guess that'll work-I'm just gratefull it wasn't an 13 x 19 sheet of paper,although,I have it coming in by the tractor-trailer load.

That settles it.

Too much alcohol.

Need that to clean the excess ink from your hands and wherever that masterpiece touched.
