Hello, just bought a new printer- a Canon Pro 300 as with the black friday cashback it was £449. It replaces an aging R3000 Epson that wasn't used correctly and the print head got clogged and I can't seem to fix it on 2 colours. My fault as it would be turned off and turned back on when I wanted to use it. After killing the Epson I've learnt a lot more from research on how to keep a home printer happy such as leaving it turned on at the mains so it doesn't want to do a head clean and waste ink when turned back on.
This leads me to Qimage. What actually does it do which makes it worth buying?
I know you can schedule it to do a weekly nozzle check which stops the heads drying and clogging up but can I just, say every Sunday morning, perform a nozzle check myself direct on the printer? I'm guessing the host PC for the Qimage software needs to be turned on for the software to communicate with the printer so in essence it's doing something I can do myself, but it takes the remembering out of it and automates the task?
I also think Qimage can print multiple images onto a page via drag and dropping images in? I'm just getting my head around the Canon software so I'm not sure ifbthat can do the same?
I presume there's more to this Qimage which I don't know about, I just want to make sure I'm not wasting money on software I can either do myself, the Canon software or Photoshop can do?
