Title: Size reduced when layout is changed Post by: archivalarts on January 23, 2018, 03:31:04 PM Hoping someone can help with this issue we have had for many years. It seems when we nest jobs, Qimage will sometimes shrink the size of a file by the size of the border. I am aware of the B - B+ setting.. we have no need for the B setting as we always create our images at the size we want at 300dpi and add the borders in Qimage. Most of the time, this is not a problem, but it seems that this resizing issue happens if we make any changes to the layout like rotating or making different borders on different images. This problem costs us a great deal of money in re-prints! We are seriously considering a different RIP, however I like that Qimage uses the Epson driver and gives us very good color with our custom profiles.
Is there any way to lock Qimage so it will only print at the size the file is set up for?

It will lock in with B+ and hold that B+ even if you rotate images or change sizes. But if you decide to adjust a size by dragging a corner, it will revert back to B. That is a random size... You can change sizes using the resize, or even custom size, but not dragging. The simple cure is to do all your dragging and sizing and then right click an image/ select all/ and tick the B+ again.

The trouble is we don't resize, drag or move any images in the layout window. We learned our lesson early on about that. As I mentioned.. our files are set up before importing into Qimage.. We only use Qimage for opening a print environment and nesting with borders. For some reason this re-sizing seems to happen on either a few images in a layout or sometimes on all of them. We have checked to make sure all of our environments are set to B+. I guess it is possible it is happening when we click on the circle icon to change the border size.

Sir, I am asking an honest question: Circle Icon to Change Border Size????? Where and what is that? Not trying to be funny. Maybe there's a button I do not remember. Fred |
