Title: Print a small 8x10" sample of a larger 30x40" print Post by: gchappel on March 19, 2017, 06:18:25 PM I am trying to print one or two small 8x10" test prints from images I will be printing roughly 40x60.
I need the test prints to be at the same resolution, and undergoing the same qimage sharpening as the large print will. I am trying to evaluate detail in some vital areas- to see how large I can push these before I get rasterization like artifacts. I am pushing things- I will be at 150-170ppi. Looking for a way to do this without throwing away 40x60 prints. Printing through qimage to an ipf8400. Workflow exported from lightroom. I am sure this is covered somewhere in this forum, but i did try to search without success. Any thoughts? Thanks Gary Title: Re: Print a small 8x10" sample of a larger 30x40" print Post by: Fred A on March 19, 2017, 06:57:34 PM Quote I am trying to print one or two small 8x10" test prints from images I will be printing roughly 40x60.

It's called the test strip It keeps shrinking the test print but keeps the ppi, and allows yo0u to slide around and print/inspect the areas you want to check on. Let me find the video for you.. http://ddisoftware.com/tech/qimage-ultimate-challenges/challenge-54-the-test-strip/msg18736/#msg18736 Here's the video https://youtu.be/Yby04h2K-zo Fred Title: Re: Print a small 8x10" sample of a larger 30x40" print Post by: gchappel on March 20, 2017, 01:53:57 AM Thanks
That is exactly what I was looking for. Gary |
