I print on canvas media and find that once I’ve applied a protective coating to the canvas surface, that the media shrinks between about 1% and 3%. This is a bit problematic when my goal is to make a finished product a certain size. I read someplace that Qimage has a feature to use with canvas that can compensate for this shrinkage. I’ve never looked into it but would appreciate some guidance on where I can learn how to implement this and related considerations. I'm using Ultimate, ver 2012.211

TIA

Yes, it does, it's right there bottom left of the main screen on the Job Properties tab.
See screen shot below.
Place your mouse in the % box and right click to open the calculator.
Note that the shrinkage compensation is on length.

Thank you for the reply and image! It appears that the edition I have does not have that feature, or at least have it at the location illustrated in the image. Is this something that perhaps can be toggled?

What version are you using?
The canvas shrinkage feature has been available in Qimage Ultimate since May 2012, version 2012.216.

I guess that explains it. How do i go about getting a newer edition and does the upgrade alter my configuration? I'm very busy currently and don't have time to fuss with things.

Thanks!

Go to this page to Upgrade
http://www.ddisoftware.com/qimage-u/purchase.htm
It says at the bottom of the page:
"only $19.99/yr after (fee is not additive: skip as many upgrades/years as you like and it's still only $19.99 to renew)
Your configuration will not be affected and well worth the $19.99  Wink
