Re: Will the gimp plugin work with gimp-2.99

Thank you for trying. I will try to find out if there is a way to make it work again.

PS: I moved your post to the topic of your first post.

Re: Transparencies with Canon ix6820 not printing

Hello, yes, I agree that it could be a problem with bad ink cartridges and I am almost sure that it is not a problem with driver settings. The ink cartridges for Canon have a sponge that "holds" the ink and prevents it from flowing out. In some refill cartridges not enough ink is released ...

Re: Will the gimp plugin work with gimp-2.99

Hello, we haven't tried the TurboPrint plugin with GIMP 2.99 yet but chances are good so please give it a try. It is important to know that the TurboPrint GIMP print plugin will only work with a regular installation of GIMP (.tgz .deb .rpm or compile &install from source), not with a SNAP package.

Re: Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 Red Ink

Hello, the Canon imagePROGRAF Pro-300 can only be controlled by the printer driver in "Device RGB" color space which means that the printer accepts a RGB bitmap for the page and does the conversion to the actual printer inks (Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Black, Grey, Red, ...) within the printer...

Re: Which icc profile to select for soft proofing

Hello, yes, this is correct. You can use the following soft proof profiles: Photo Paper Plus Glossy II - PP-301 => TS9500-canon_pp201.icc Glossy Photo Paper - GP-701 => TS9500-canon_gp501.icc This is a good approximation. Of course you can use our profiling service to create an individual color prof...

Re: Presets

Hello, the printing settings "presets" are a mechanism of macOS, not PrintFab. In our experience the presets work reliably - if a "preset" is selected in the macOS print dialog, the corresponding settings are also used for the next print job. A known problem is that macOS sometim...

Re: Upgrading my Mac OS. Will I have issues?

Hello,

generally, printing halftones with PrintFab Pro XL works also on Ventura.

Can you describe your problem - e.g. you cannot find the dialog "Special settings screen printings"?

Re: RE-Turboprint 2.15 needed

The sorting may be a bit confusing, at the top are RPM and TGZ downloads and at the end the DEB downloads. The oldest TurboPrint version that is currently available is 2.36-1 from 2015.

Re: System Error when printing on DesignJet using PrintFab driver

Hello, the "system error 79:04" may occur when printing at the highest resolution (2400dpi). Printing at 300-1200dpi should work.

Please let me know if this solves the problem.

Re: What limitations once test period is over

Hello Johnny, after the end of the trial a "TurboPrint" logo is printed on the page, so you can only use it for testing, not for real prints.
