Title: Need help with large job
Post by: shuttershane on April 30, 2010, 02:46:58 PM
Hey guys,

I have a epson 7900 and it works great in qimage. I have a job that requires me to print around 300 4x6 prints. I have a roll of 17 inch paper loaded and want to basically lay them all out so I can print then later cut.

Is there anyway for me to create cut lines in qimage to help guide me on the cutting?  Right now it's a big pain to line up by eye on cutting these sheets.

To accurately simulate your job, I would need to know if you wanted to print 300 prints without a stop, or for example, a page that is 17" wide and 33" long which would accommodate 32 4 x 6 prints.
Did you want the prints with a small space for cutting to separate, or butted together with no space?
You can turn on the guideline edges for cutting by clicking on EDGES on the lower part of the main screen.

Best case scenario would be the print does 3-4 rows of 4x6, cuts then keeps going. But if that cannot be done one continuous print on the roll. I would like a small gap between each image

This was my first try from an hour ago before I read your reply.
You can make any configuration and any size page before it cuts.
I was asking about the cutting room between prints.
Please have a look at the screen snap and make corrections and suggestions.

That shows 20 4 x 6s on a page.
You can add 20 more and make page 2, and 20 more and make page 3.... etc.
..... or we can make larger pages since you have roll paper.
