QTRbeta3 and Win2K....image problem

2004-08-16 by njfranknj

I finally got the combo running thanks to Roy's new instructions, BUT,
even though I set the paper size to Super B and my Photoshop image
size is 12.95x19.00, per the Epson driver setting, I only get about
1/4 of the image printed and it doesn't start in the right place -
it's nearly in the center, despite the fact that it only prints the
bottom right corner of the 30 Meg image. Tonality is nice and the
ability to vary it; microbanding is visible under a loupe. 

Below is a copy of the QTR file with the settings I used (with the
blend set for full warm tone).
