Digital BW, The Print

Did you actually print the image or did you just see the hatch marks on the preview screen? 

I have been using Qimage for several years and have never experienced hatch marks in any print under any condition. Nor have I ever heard of this issue anywhere before your reported experience. I asked a friend, who is one of the most knowledgeable Qimage users, and he has never heard or experienced hatch marks on any Qimage print he has made. 

Recently I have been messing with B&W prints with glossy papers using an image taken with Nikon Coolpix 990 (3.5 megapixels) a few years ago. I have Done some minor cropping of the original image and made 12 X 18" prints  on 13 X19" Epson Premium Glossy paper. There are no hatch marks and the print is really quite good. This print was made with an Epson 4800 printer using the Pyramid routine in Qimage.

I also have PS CS2 and only use it for editing and Qimage for sizing, unsharp mask and printing.
