Hi. I understand that you are very new to this and keen to get some results, however, you need to understand that it's going to be a bit of a learning curve and you must tackle things in the right order to have any chance of success.

For instance, do you know what an ICC profile is? Do you have the correct one installed for your brand of inks, and is it being used by Gimp?

You need this set up before even considering adding images and printing them.

I've already mentioned the icc profile several times on another thread and it's been ignored. Also you can't identify your inks so you're really on an uphill struggle here. Please don't think I'm being funny with you, I've been trying to help but you can't be selective on the advice you take.

All you need is a rectangular image, I use 220mm x 90mm for example and then import the image.
