TurboPrint & PrintFab

Hello,
currently we have an experimental beta version of PrintFab Windows with support for DTF printing, the download link is available on request.
Unfortunately there is no such preliminary version available for Mac yet, I hope it will be available in the second half of 2024.

Hello, for most printers, "Gray Photo" converts the image to grayscale before processing it in the usual way, e.g. print the image with a mix of CMY for light colors and replacing that with black ink for darker colors. Please select "Grayscale" if you want to print with black ink...

Hello, you can either adjust the color balance in TurboPrint Control -> button "Configure" -> Tab "Color". Or you can create a new color profile with our color profile measurement service which is explained in the TurboPrint PDF manual or online help, you can access profile manag...

Hello, the print queue definitions are stored in the file /etc/turboprint/turboprint.cfg, the profiles and page size definitions are located in the directory /usr/share/turboprint/profiles. You can backup "turboprint.cfg" and the contents of the directory "profiles" and restore o...

Hello, the PrintFab license does not expire. However, future updates are only included for 6 months (optionally you can select 2 years free updates when purchasing the license). Thus you might need to purchase an update if this should be required by a new macOS version or if you change your printer ...

Hello, with both printers TurboPrint produces a printed output that is almost identical to the manufacturer's Windows printer driver. This is because the printer receives a "page bitmap" and controls ink usage (grey and other special inks, chroma optimizer) within the printer firmware. The...

Hello, our software PrintFab has currently no driver for the HP DesignJet 1050c printer. It might be possible to use a different PrintFab driver, e.g. "HP DesignJet 4500" or "HP DesignJet Z5200". You can test compatibility with the 30 day trial version which is available for down...

Hello, te important settings can be found in the print settings, tab "Options", section "Special Settings Screen Printing" of the macOS print dialog. Please note that these functions are only available in the largest version "PrintFab Pro XL" (the PrintFab 30 day trial ...

Hello, 1. When installing the trial version, you can select which version to test during installation. If you installed the .deb or .rpm package, you can select the trial version when you start TurboPrint Control for the first time. About resetting the cartridge counter: The printer itself keeps tra...

Hello, please print a nozzle test page from TurboPrint Control -> dialog "Toolbox". If the nozzle check pattern is complete with all color squares Cyan, Magenta and Yellow complete, please send the TurboPrint log /var/log/turboprint/print.log file by email and refer to this forum thread.

You are right, the method that we discussed is not convenient and it is not recommended by us. The currently recommended solution is to select the minimun ink limit of 100. If the bleeding on the profile page is acceptable, the profile can be created (either through our profile measurement service o...

Hello, I think it is a problem with a specific custom page size. The limit in the Canon Windows driver is 432mm if the units are set to "metric".
Can you please retry with a print width of 43.20cm and let me know if this solves the problem?

I forgot: to update the sequence also in the PPD (postscript printer description) file that is used by Linux apps for the print options dialog, please open a "Terminal" window and enter
(your login password will be requested).

Hello, please do not adjust the .tpr file. Instead, you can adjust the maximum ink amount in a printer driver specific file. For the L1300, the file is C:\Program Files (x86)\ZEDOnet\PrintFab 1.x\colors\DX4250.tpm For the paper class "inkjet" and print resolution "5760dpi", pleas...

Hello, thank you for your suggestion. Currently it is not possible to reorder the profile ist. We can add this to the "feature wish list" and it might me implemented in a future TurboPrint release. There is a way to manually reorder the list: You could edit the file /usr/share/turboprint/p...
