Here is the second shot

ok here are 3 shots of what is happening

Did you use a B+ border which would have made your print larger?  I can't tell anything without screenshots.  Just post a screenshot of what you are seeing.

No I selected an 18x24 which is the overall size of the print

Just make sure your print to file parameters (paper size) is correct.  It sounds like you selected a paper size that is too small.

I too would like to see hard-proofing like in this video. (It's an updated version (in principle) of the other video but for Lightroom)

I was hoping that the plugin would pick up the created proofing strips in Lightroom but it doesn't and there seems to be no way to create an image that is transferable Photoshop or to Qimage. My monitor is profiled as are the papers I use. Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying the software, the learning and the prints I'm getting. I think this is way of saving paper and ink.

I've tried creating a template myself but it seems that when I try to adjust 1 strips exposure as in the video, Qimage adjusts all 5 or 7 strips.

Ok I tried to do the print to file process, right now I have the image on screen and a matt border around it but when I go to print to file on the first dialog box I set the parameters and part of the image shifts off screen? Then I look at the image in my win photo viewer and indeed part of the image is missing on the right?

To put into a pictures folder in case I want to print it later but Mike has said just to save it as a job but if I need to save just the file as a jpg or tiff do a print to file

When you say "used later on" what do you mean?  If you want to print it again exactly that way, then save as a job which will capture everything including the text and you can bring it back exactly as it is.  If it's for a display on a screen or other media device, then yes, print it to file, but be sure to get rid of disable the print profile first.

Floating text and borders are print (layout) features: they do not belong to the image as they are not image edits.  Use print to file: drop down the printer selection and select "Print to File" and set up your page/output preferences.  Then when you print, it'll create files of each page.
