Re: Sharpening

It's not clear to me how the job is shared between the printing app and the driver. If you use Gimp for printing, is scaling done by Gimp or Turboprint? If scaling is done by Gimp, then I would expect to have an option to sharpen in the print menu. Else it should be the driver to care for the last s...

Re: Epson R800 and UltraGlossy paper setup

The colors are better than before. However, my test image is a nightly landscape with clouds, shooted at full moon on the lake. The clouds are white on my calibrated monitor, but they still print magenta. If I print the image from Gimp with the standard driver, it won't print magenta. This was my fi...

Re: Sharpening

I must specify that I am looking for a dedicated photo printing system under Linux, so text issues are not relevant to me.

Re: Sharpening

Thanks for your kind reply. The problem is, I don't know the *exact* pixel size the image will have when TP scales it for printing. If TP did not scale it, I could sharpen the image myself. This is why I always got astonishing results with Qimage (for Window$, doh!): it scales && sharpen at ...

Sharpening

hello, All, I would like to know if TP has a sharpening tool. I think that sharpening should be the last pixel destructive action before the final destination, the paper. Because TP resizes the image based on the paper size of the print, I do not want to sharpen my tiff before printing. thanks for r...

Re: Epson R800 and UltraGlossy paper setup

ok, I got the profile: thanks! I still think it's a little shifted towards magenta. Just to rule out setup errors, this is how I created the profile: cartridge: GlossOptimizer Auto quality: 5760dpi paper class: glossy ink limit: 250 color data: Zedonet profile proof-studio driver: Epson_StylusPhotoR...

Epson R800 and UltraGlossy paper setup

hello All, I am a newbie here, moving my first steps with TP. First, my background. Moved to Linux years ago with no regrets. I kept a Win ws just for photo printing with Qimage and my Epson R800. My workflow with Qimage was to throw a full size unsharpened tiff to the printer. With its clever algor...
