I am a new member and am considering purchasing QIMAGE ULTIMATE but I would be interested in hearing from any users with experience in laying out multiple images using 44" roll paper. Is it easy to layout say 12 - 10''x10" images and have QU determine the most efficient layout? Are there any conflicts with the print driver in terms of paper sizing and auto cutting? I am fighting with the Epson print settings using the 44" wide roll and would like to simplify things and do batch printing. Any advice/experience would be appreciated.

Good morning,
Take a look at the screen snap attached. Click to enlarge.
Is that what you need?
12- 10 x 10 prints on a 44" wide roll.

If so, I'll walk you through.

I would suggest watching the very fist video here:

http://www.ddisoftware.com/qimage-u/learn.htm

The size of the paper doesn't matter: just imaging doing everything in that video on a 44 x whatever piece of paper.  It all works the same: there's almost no limit to what you can do.

Thank for the quick response Mike and Fred.....you have already put my mind at ease. I have viewed many of the videos ( very helpful ) and assumed that batching on roll paper was possible, and hopefully as easy as it looks. I will be printing multiple 10" square images of high resolution ( 2215 dpi scans of 10"x10" negs - 1.2GB files! ) files that I was planning on processing in Photoshop to colour correct, crop and compress ( if required ) before printing with QI Ultimate. There will also be prints of various size up to 44" wide by ??" long. I may have further questions once I get QI up and running so thank you for offering to run me through the process. Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks all for the humour and please don't be offended if I choose a different image for my first test!

I do have an unrelated question: Is it advisable to enter the factory calibration ( if that is the correct term ) rather than purchase/borrow monitor calibration hardware to determine a profile for the monitor ICC in the Job Properties box? Monitor/printer calibration isn't critical for my work, but I'd like to be "close" when I compare the print to what I see on the screen. I have a 19" Samsung SyncMaster 2233 ( nothing fancy).

Thanks again!

yes it is much better to calibrate your monitor individually rather that use the manufacturers generic profile. Previously I have found it of great benefit on a "budget" monitor although I have a "mid-range" model now.
This is always the first stage of getting into colour management. Without monitor to print matching you'll probably end up being disappointed at some stage.  Roll Eyes
