Hi. Thanks for an amazing piece of software, it has made my learning curve into large format printing much easier and also saved me a fortune on RIP software that would be too complicated and overkill for what i need.
I have a feature request that would be great if it is possible...
When printing canvas prints for my customers I would love the ability to insert my website and business logo in a border on the wrap around ie; mirrored/stretched 1inch border and then a 1inch border that has logo/text in it (on the back stapled area).
Hope my description is self explanatory...
Thanks.

There is a copyright/signature feature in QU than can do a version of what you want but you get the signature on the main print and wrap only with "mirror". Stretch shows it properly on the main print only.
See attached screen shot from the Full Page Editor with a dice logo. (a little too large for the wrap sizes but you see what happens).
NB. You must use HQ preview to see the copyright/signature.
You can read the Help about signatures in Help-Contents-Listing of Major Functions-Copyright/Signature.
Also, a while ago, I produced some extra information and samples which you can download from here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B-mKaCc7lKcjek1tTXNkOTQ4YW8
Maybe you can use the feature as it is in some way.

Thanks for your suggestion Terry-M, however I only want it to be on the second boarder(B2 only) and not showing on the main print. It would basicaly be on the rear of the frame just around the boarder. I could do it by editing each print in Photoshop and adding the boarders manually and removing boarder printing on Qimage, but I was trying to be lazy... though it would be a nice addition to a future update if possible.

If you can do without the logo you mentioned and just used text, then your information can be put anywhere on the print using Floating Text in the Full Page editor.
See attached screen shot, text on bottom wrap border and on RHS second border (at 90deg.)
Also a screen shot of the floating text dialogue (click the blue A) in case you've not seen that before.

Another thought for the logo: if it is a simple rectangle (no transparency required) it could be placed as an image over the main image in any position. Set placement to Freehand and drag the logo image, at the size required, to the page preview and roughly position it. In the page editor you may need to right click and "send (main) image to back" and position it finally.
I'll do a sample and post the screen shot.

OK, here it is, see attached - there's not much QU cannot do!

Aha Terry-M you sir are a star... that's exactly what I wanted. I had no idea about the floating text... guess I need to watch some more tutorial videos.
Thank you so much for your help, I am now a happy man.  Wink

One video that will be useful to you is about creating custom layouts and saving for future use.
See:-
https://www.youtube.com/embed/1TjdBbj-r2E
This is especially useful when you are likely to use the same layout & size for different images - such as a canvas wrap print with text on it.
The layout can include text and other images, like a logo, which need to be used in every case. New jobs are then easy and quick to set up, only the main Image(s) have to be added.
