Title: Will backgound printing ever be improved?
Post by: kieranmullen on March 15, 2011, 08:02:56 PM
Qimage studio edition.

One can set a background color globally but not on a per page basis.

Why is this and will it ever be improved or is the product pretty much dead? 

What would be the best way to use a background texture repeated image for the background?

Thanks!

KM

Not dead but "retired".

Make an image of your background texture.
Add it to the queue at a size that fill the page. You could add it to the queue multiple times several pages or have different backgrounds for different pages.
Change to freehand mode, set the image size and drag an image to each page as required.
Use the Full Page Editor to fine tune the image position and "bring to front" as required.

Thanks

So will one ever be able to do it on a per page basis?

Mike will have to answer that but the method I described does allow you to do it and gives the option for multiple  textured backgrounds as well as plain colours.
