I've been using Qimage, a printing utility, for years. Its resampling system automatically resamples your image to your printer's native resolution during printing (without altering the image file itself), which really does seem to result in improved detail. It also does non-destructive cropping and arrangement of multiple prints on a single sheet of paper.
But today I discovered one of its best features. Have you ever run a inkjet head test pattern and discovered you need to run a cleaning cycle? And then cringed at the thought of how much expensive ink was being used in the process? Yeah. Been there, done that. But I just discovered can run its own cleaning cycle, independent of the print driver and - get this - you can have it run the cycle ONLY for the ink that's showing problems! BRILLIANT! I would rhetorically ask why the printer manufacturers don't offer the same option... but since they're the one's who sell ink I expect everyone can work it out. -- Mark Roberts - Photography and Multimedia www.robertstech.com 617-522-0174 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
