QTR-Quadtone RIP

Ned, I don't have an answer for you, but was all set to post my issue when I read your post. I wonder if my issue is related.

I'm printing an image that measures 11 x 4.14 (it's a proof sheet for a couple of strips of 35mm negatives). My paper size is 8 1/2 x 11. When I open it in QTR, I reduce it to 91% to give me some borders at either end. However when I print it, the image becomes quite large, such that only about 4 of the six frames are printed, the frames on either end are cut off. I tried shutting down my computer and the printer and let them sit few several minutes, but no luck.

I'm using the current version of QTR also, am running XP Pro 32 bit, with 4GB RAM.

Like I say, I was about to start a new thread but your issue rang a bell. I don't mean to hijack your thread!

Regards,

Paul

It seems to take, but upon further investigation, there seems to be a requirement that the  image size exactly match a whole number percentage, as opposed to a decimal percentage. For instance, changing either the height or width of the image will move Scale from 20% to 21%, but exactly 6 inches in width lies in between the the 20 and 21 percentage points. And so QTR adjusts the image size (without any notification).
