TurboPrint & PrintFab

Hi,
i'm very interested in your printing tool, i've tried in my canon ip5200 under feisty ubuntu and i'm astonished about the results

I have some questions before buy the license:

1) i love b&w print, i made some print with "super" quality settings and color mode grayscale: the print is very cool but not so accurate as printed in Windows, i notice that there is a little hard rumor, the print in Windows appear a little more soft, accurate. the registered version improve the quality?

2) i bought ilford professional papers, i have right icc profiles of papers. may i use them? or there are proply settings for ilford papers?

3) is bibble-lite program supported? i use this commercial (and excellent) program to develop my RAW files, and i would like to print with it


thank you very much, and keep up the wonderful work!

Hello!

1. The print quality is the same as in the registered version. The "grayscale" mode uses only black ink and produces a visible dither pattern. A workaround is to convert the image to black&white and print it in color mode (this is how Canon's Windows driver does it by default).

2. Support for ICC profiles is planned for a future TurboPrint version. I would try the media settings "Canon PR101", "Tetenal" and "Fuji" and use the one that gives the best results.

3. I have no experience with bibble-lite - if this program has a "print" function it should be possible to print with TurboPrint.

1. i used already converted in B&W image, i convert them with bibble or photoshop... to print i used simply lpr program, maybe i can improve the quality using gimp or a graphic program? i'll try

2. ok, i'll give a try. Remember the support of icc profiles is very very important for photography passionate

3. bibble (www.bibblelabs.com) has print function, but do nothing when i press the icon... i don't know if is a problem of program or driver, i'll post a message also in bibble forum



Thank you for the quick answer, i'm going to buy my license, It's a wonderful printing system and you deserve backing
