Hello Mike,
I use templates regularly for repetitive jobs, printing multiple images to one sheet of paper to frame under mats cut by our Gunnar mat cutter to matching mat templates. I'll ask more about that later. The problem I have at this point is trying to print one of those templates, with images to file. If I do the print to file thing, then use current printer stats and printer for file format it flips the paper orientation 90 degrees, and no matter what I try cannot get it stay fomatted as it should be as I had originally set it up. I am using Qimage Ultimate on Windows XP pro, on a Macpro with VMware Fusion.
My other question relates to the relationship between my mat cutter and your software, both of which make my job very easy as they are a wonderfully productive combination. As it is I design either the print layout and print it, or the mat and cut it, then physically measure up and input into the opposite required print layout or mat. Although I have got fairly competent doing this it would be nice to be able to export out a qimage template to the mat cutter software and avoid the mismatches I currently get. So my question is - is it possible to export a template in a format that Corel draw would accept, as I know I can import from Corel into the Gunnar software? I will have an opportunity to speak to the Gunnar people at the Aus PMA in Sydney in a few weeks time.
If this approach is not doable can I suggest a very handy feature for the positioning of images/templates on the edit page function would be the ability to arrange and place the images/templates centres as well as border distances. That would be a big plus for my purposes.
And while I'm at it, a multiple copy/paste would be handy. It would be possible to then make one arrangement and then place as many copies as requires on a roll sheet. This is the sort of layout we use frequently
