Re: QTRgui / 2880 dpi. ALWAYS stretches image height

2005-01-01 by Roy Harrington

I'm not sure which printer you are using.   The desktops i.e. 2200
don't support 2880 correctly yet.  The pro printers 4000, x600 will
run at 2880 but the builtin profiles are made for 1440.

The stretching of one dimension sounds like it might be a 16bit file
issue rather than a resolution issue but I can't tell for sure.
