Qimage + QTR sizing problem

2004-11-05 by dealy663

Hi,

I've wasted a fair amount of ink and paper tonite trying to figure out
how to use Qimage together with QTR and QTR gui. My problem is that
even though everything looks right in Qimage when I drop the file on
the QTR gui it comes out at approximately the right resolution on the
page but only the center of the image is printed.

For instance, in Qimage I selected a custom paper size in my Epson
2200 driver 8.5x5.5" half sheet. Then I set my print size to 5x7 in
Qimage and double clicked on the psd file that I wanted to print. The
Qimage print preview shows what I expect, my image (originally
2008x3000 from a D100) takes up most of the half sheet. The View/Print
Queue shows the file as a 7 x 4.56 430ppi 13MB file. So I printed to a
tif file.

In QTR gui I chose a custom paper size of 8.5w x 5.5l. I set the top
and left starting points at 0.125" and unchecked the centered box.
Then I dragged the file that Qimage output on to the QTR gui and out
comes a print that is positioned properly on the page but only 4.5 x
4.125 inches.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Can someone post their
printing workflow from PSCS to Qimage to QTR to 2200? Or at least
offer up a suggestion as to what maybe wrong here.

Thanks, Derek
