Title: Single copy vs. multiple copies density difference in prints
Post by: JNolly on September 13, 2022, 06:34:29 PM
Still running QImage V 2016.146 Windows 10, mostly working just great, but when I got a new HP 3200 (had been running on HP3100) I noticed that if I selected multiple copies, the prints were visibly lighter than when printing only one copy. Don't print that many multiple copy jobs, so have just ignored it, and just print muliples one at a time to avoid the problem.  Just curious if this situation has come up before? Is  there a magic solution? ;-)

Hi John,
I know Mike will ask you how you are setting up to make multiple  copies of an image. Are you adding that image a few times to the queue, or using the (see attached) driver selection of MULTIPLE COPIES?

Sounds like the print driver might be switching automatically to DRAFT quality for multiple copies.
