It seems like some nice software, so just wondering if any of our members have had experiences with it. I know one did over 6 months ago, but that was because they had somehow managed to attempt to run it on their PC, so that would do it.

Certainly there is an easier and better way, at a reasonable cost, to arrange different size image files on a canvas or 24 x 36 sheet of fine art watercolor paper, and I found it.
LSI’s Printao 8. It’s for Mac users only, so Mac users have quite an advantage over other OS platforms. Silverfast scanning software is another LSI product that I have been using for many years and trust LSI with their software. Printao 8 has been available for a while and I was not aware of it.

I did become acquainted with Printao 8 recently and am very comfortable and pleased with Printao 8, and my thoughts and experiences are below. With “Start-Pilot” I am guided throughout all the necessary steps to prepare to print a single image file, or multiple image files. I thought the Start-Pilot was presented the same as it is in Silverfast scanning software. Other Silverfast users will look for the Silverfasts style Start-Pilot which you will find it at the very top center of the options view when Printao 8 is opened.
There is a black box on the left side with five guides: PRINT TO PRINT ON QUALITY SOURCE SIZE When you first open up Printao 8, you are asked to load the printer you are using. I use the Epson Pro 9900 printer, so it was simple. The dialogue box has two choices for choosing the base paper. Printao 8 does have a selection of printer profiles from various paper and canvas vendors.
They can be automatically downloaded, and are useful for print studios not creating their own custom.icc profiles. The Add Print Media box opens with 3 more choices available, installed, available and custom. Choosing Available papers downloads the.icc profiles mentioned above, from the LSI web site. Quality offers normal and high quality as well as print with finest detail. Source is where you can choose roll or sheets. Size for rolls offers some suggestions, and, not the final say.
I have the final say on length of roll. And for cut sheet, there are suggestions as well and an Extended paper size selection. When I get to the actual time to print, you do have more size options, and that is written about later on in this review. At the far right bottom is the word Create.
Click on that and the program opens ready to choose an image file or files. There are templates for your use, and you can create your own. On the left are the image files you can select. In the middle is where you drag and drop your choice of image files.
This is the arena where Printao 8 arranges image files. On the top of the screen are more options. They include center on page, crop to fit, rulers, metadata, queue manager, media manager, and print. And on the far right are image properties that let you choose image size. There is also Cell properties for manipulation.

Image properties dialogue includes a yellow to green to red slider bar. I understood, and wrongly so, you must keep the slider in the green. Darren Vena from LSI explained that is not necessary, so thank you Darren. The print dialogue box reviews any previous settings of base paper, Epson Watercolor Paper Radiant White and my custom.icc profile.

In this example, my Epson Exhibition Canvas Matte. At the very bottom on the right I can choose paper sizes you want, which is great. Any image critical photographer and fine art printer really does need to use the Demo application, to see for yourself what Printao 8 does. Sure, Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 4 (in my case) both permit placing separate image files on one large canvas or a sheet of 24 x 36 fine art paper. In PS CS5 I first must be sure all the file sizes are the same as the “new document”, with the same ppi. Then, you have to figure out on your own how to use the surface of the “new document” to my advantage.
In Lightroom 4, you must figure out how to place individual image files in arrangements to be economical with the “new document”. Now comes Printao 8. What a relief and easier experience. Printao 8 arranges the image files you want to print economically with no effort at all. I implore Mac users printing their own fine art, to try Printao 8. The demo download of Printao 8 is complete, with all sections active. There is however a watermark for the trial version.
The software is easy to use and has a wealth of features and is worth it, as long as you have a Mac and want to control the printing aspects of photography. I owe much gratitude to Darren Vena of LSI for his assistance, as well as putting up with me. I am very critical of certain things, like software and printing, and as my wife reminds me, can be high maintenance. I asked many questions, and Darren, you are appreciated!
