Digital BW, The Print

Patrick

Thank you for this info.

I´m trying to make QTRip work here. 

I use QImage in my basic workflow, to place the images in the right 
place on the page, to add text, etc

What I´m trying to do now is still use QImage to do that part of the 
job (much better than Photoshop) and "print to a tiff file", using 
720ppi as my output resolution, for a letter size page. I understand 
that the 2200 has 720 dpi as it´s default.

When I try to send the file to QTRip, something gets printed, but 
it´s more of a mess than properly an image. And the image that I see 
printed is smaller than what QImage shows me.

Could you please share the size and resolution you use on your TIFF 
file?

Thanks

Nelson
