Printing profile targets

Printing profile targets

2012-04-08 by sethrus

Has anyone tried using QImage (the original) to print profile targets with sizing, ppi, etc. turned off?  Does it work accurately?

I am concerned with reports that the Adobe ACPU is resizing targets.  And, the fact that it prints to one corner and edge of the page.

Thanks,

Seth

It didn't do this when I used it

Qimage does that job perfectly with CM switched off and the driver's 
setting to "Let application control CM".

There was a target resolution like 40 pixels per cm at print size that 
did not alter the scaling in ACPU. Someone figured that out.

Thank you Ernst-

The I did that last night.  The problem with ACPU is positioning.  It 
wants to creep to a corner instead of centering the target.

Also, for some reason. the PS Elements 10 still has "No Color 
Management" as an option.  I printed from all three last night and will 
read them today to be sure there is no variance.

The PSE 10 thing is strange!!  Adobe says they took the NCM out of PS 
because it "confused some users."  Anyone confused by that should not be 
using PS, in my opinion.  Then they LEAVE it in PSE--the amateur 
program.  Who is doing the thinking at Adobe?

I did some years ago, and Qimage was fine.
