Re: printing with Qimage

2005-04-05 by John Lill

Diane,
That's how I print, and I believe most others do, also. When I print 
to file in Qimage, I set the printer ICC to QTR-RGB Gray Matte and 
leave Smart Sharpening at the default. Then I open the tiff with QTR. 
Works great. Some folks just set QTR to monitor a folder and let it 
print automatically when the tiff is saved in Qimage. The 
collaboration between Roy, Stephen, and Mike was wonderful and made 
for a simple workflow.

I was thrilled when QTR was first released for Windows. Then when 
Stephen created QTRGui, it was so much better. And now, with Mike's 
input, and further improvements in QTR and the GUI, it's a real 
pleasure to work with. Metemerism-free prints and I can easily change 
the look from selenium-toned to warm and everything in between. What 
fun!!

using 
it this morning.  That brought up the question in my mind--just how 
are others printing from Qimage using QTR?  Are you printing to file, 
then using that saved tiff to bring into the QTR GUI?
