I use an epson 7880 and photoshop to edit me images.

I print photos onto canvas so the images are never the same size. The problem I have is not being able to print them fast enough. I have to manually reset the printer every time a print has finished, if I have 20 images waiting to be printed this takes up a lot of my time. If I'm dealing with a customer I forget to send an image to print, which is more time lost. Is there a way to stack the images so they print one after another?

The image needs to have a 6" cap to the next image, this leaves enough white canvas to stretch around the bars when cut off the roll. Is it possible to set this up in Qimage so every image printed has that gap?

I want to be able to press print and all 20 image print with the correct gap and not need to reset the printer every time. Could Qimage do this and would it save me any time?

Hope that all makes sense. Any help would be much appreciated.

Think that makes sense, I haven't bought it yet I just want to make sure Qimage can do it.

Will I have to setup the boarder for every image or can it be automated?

Do you have to set a paper size in Qimage or is that automatic?

Thanks for the advice.

So the B selection wouldn't resize the image. I crop it in PS with a 2mm overhang to go around the edge, would qimage change that?

That would make the print larger than the paper.... a no no.
So do it this way.... A bit of trial and error, but after the 10 minutes you spend adjusting, you can save the JOB and use it again anytime.

Just for a start, I set the page size to 24.02 x 160 inches...
Qimage will automatically space the prints evenly depending on how much page length you have.
This was my test.!
I set the borders to 2.00 inches in stead of 3"
Now the top and bottom fit in the 24.02 roll (Borderless).
OK that problem is solved.
All I did next was adjust the page length and the number of prints on the page so Qimage will space them 4" apart (plus the 2" border) and you get 6" between.

See snaps
First shows the 20 x 20 with + 2" borders making 24 x 24" prints.
The second shows the layout as it appears with 6 prints showing on 160 inch long page size.
If I go further, the screen images get to small to show.
I think you have the idea.
Increase the page length and the space between prints increases.
Add more prints (24" x 24") and the space gets smaller between prints.

If you want to do them in one run, you have 20 images each 2 feet wide.
That needs 40 feet of paper length.
Now you want 2 inches of space between prints (which already have 4" of white border).
So add another 2 feet of paper, and see the measurements. You will be close... then tweak it.

You will have to account for any odd edges or borders that you add in PS.
A friend of mine added another solution that should do well also.
How about making a 6 x 20 inch saved image  of a white background.

Now add your image and add one of the 6 x 20. Then add another of your images, and follow that with another 6 x 20. The 6 x 20 white images will act as 6" spacers.
After the order has been set, go to the Page Editor and use the CTRL and left arrow, butt the images against the spacer and the spacer image against the side of the next image and so on.
Works perfectly..
See snap.

6" spacer between each cat.
If you already have some border from PS, then make your space print size a bit narrower.
