Unless I misunderstood, the suggestion was to leave the borderless item checked in the print driver setup, but disable the overspray (Page Formatting -> Borderless Overspray/Expansion -> Disable Overspray and Size Expansion).  This should give you the complete image without cutting off the edge, but possibly may leave a sliver of white since the paper alignment is sometimes imprecise.

Migla9 - Thats IT !!  Thank you.  Its not perfect as to the very small page side white slivers - but I can live with that; if it means easier picture slicing and still keeping my 4 X 4 per page - AND the WHOLE image INCLUDING the 'Info Stamp' on each picture.  Great!  Thank you again!

I still think you should have a look at the Floating text. Then you can have the borderless and the text, and it even offers EXIF input where it will print the filename etc for each image. You can position the text inside the print enough to where it's unaffected by the borderless expansion.

Thnx Fred - will check Floating Text out further.

Yes, Fred, I am using 'Info Stamp' to put the file names on EACH picture.
And frugality of paper is a consideration but the key concern is how to minimize
cutting effort when finished.

Thanks for the tip Terry re the Epson driver expanding prints a little to make borderless. 
That key point never occurred to me.

So I guess the answer is to undo the borderless tick box and live with the slivers of
white around the edges; and the extra cutting involved!  Wah!  Is nothing ever easy
in digital imaging !!

Thanks for the replies.

I am printing using Qimage Pro V 2010.102 to an Epson R1800; 4 images per sheet,
borderless, sheets filled to the sides & top.  This produces Four 4.25 X 5.50 prints
on a sheet; which suits my frugality by saving paper over the standard 4 X 6 size,
 AND I don't have to make more cuts than need when extricating each print.

On each print I place small font file name - which is set to a photo date & time,
on the lower right; so I can quickly find reprints when required.

I just finished printing a substantial part of my 2009 photos - some 75 pages.

Upon examination, I discovered that the Qimage Info Stamp was missing from all
pages on the right hand side of the portrait loaded paper.  Further, it appears that
 the very bottom of the print - which includes the info stamp - has been shaved
of a small amount of image.  Further, the left hand side appears to have also been
 shaved; i.e., the top of the 2 left hand side prints on the page.

All print pages show all image data and Info Stamps in place in Qimage just fine prior
 to printing.  But somewhere between Qimage & the printer, the sides have been shaved !

I saw the comment about there perhaps being a quality loss when printing borderless,
but did not expect an actual image data loss!

Is there any way I can ensure that all Qimage proofed data actually makes it all the
way onto my print page - right to the edges?  Or am I asking too much of either the
printer or Qimage? 

 Huh?
