Hi Paul...
In reading between the lines from your message, it sounds like you have a printer with a 24 inch wide carriage.
Please specify which printer you are using.
If I guessed right, like an Epson 7800 or bigger, then you should user defined as the paper size, with 24 as one dimension, and as long you wish (depending on the roll length and wall size). Then you will be able to see it on screen as a full unit.

By overlap, in poster mode, you probably mean the margins where the single prints will be seamed together?  You will likely need to trim some white, but using the first method with User defined, it will come out as on long print. Use borderless and you minimize excess.

Hope some of this helps...
I did look up Phototex 24...

Neat stuff!
Fred

Hi Paul,
As I said above, in previous message, if you use the User define mode of printing instead of Poster mode, you will be able to see the entire print before you print each full length.


Each panel will be a separate page... Each 6 foot long print will be visible before you print it. If you want to print 2 6 foot long prints, then you will see that on PAGE 2 in Qimage
See screen snaps
Page is 73" long... 23.78 wide (adjustable if you use borderless)
Print size is 72" x 23.5  (Banner Mode)

You set your own dimensions, but you can see it.
The third screen snap is PAGE 2  if you wanted to see page two; the next strip.
OK?
Fred
Hope that helps.

Hi Paul,
My eyeballs spin when I try to use inches to mms to cms to Metres.
You will have to wait for Terry on that.
But when I use poster mode, teh panels come out with a small margin all way around; usually a .12 inches.
You can see this in the page editor

Fred

Paul, you can see the splits if you check the box in your driver for PREVIEW

First two snaps are panels from your poster, The last one shows that I was making a 24 x 16 poster print using 8.5 x 11 paper.
Just click on the left and right arrows in that preview screen, and see all your splits.
Fred

Just rotate in teh driver. If your image is landscape put a check in the driver box for portrait.
Just set the page size to whatever size paper you are really using, and the print size to the actual print size you want.
Qimage will make your poster panels for you.
No need to tell it how many pages or anything

... perhaps you can rotate the room???

:-)

You see, I find that extra funny.
I read the above, and was not sure if you were talking about whiskey or grand children.
I don't drink.!
Never had to in order to become silly, so I am really not on the inside track when people in the movies talk about having a 10 year old Scotch, or more arcane,,, The Single Malt.

To me, having grown up in The Bronx, NYC, in the early 30s and 40s, a single  malt was only one scoop of ice cream in your malted milk!

Thr world moves on, but I stand still!

Hi Paul,
That must have been some hangover. 

OK, I just actually printed a 2x1 poster with Borderless turned on so you can butt the edges and tape.
It has been a while, and I wanted to be sure.
Stay well,
Fred
