I'm sure this is a bug because this only happens sometimes (even when attempting to print the same file repeatedly). Is there someway to completely have it avoid doing this altogether? Attached is an example.

The process that's causing this to happen is many PNG files are loaded, using any of the placement methods to nest them, and then printing all pages to file. We even attempted to download a printer driver (that creates PNGs, TIF, PDFs and so on) to make it as if Qimage is sending the file directly to the printer, and some of the files it creates still have the gridlines. Some of the pages have multiple images on them and there may be 1 or 2 of them that have the gridlines while the others on the page don't.

Really hope this can be fixed. The nesting feature of this program is amazing and it saves a ton of time, but I obviously need the final print to be as intended.

This happens when trying to use a cracked copy of Qimage.  None of the cracked copies will work properly.  If you buy the registered version, this will not happen.

Can you tell me what you mean by "cracked" copy? Does that mean old version that no longer works? I have version 2020.113 and it says "v2020.113 REGISTERED" on top.

Wow this is embarrassing. I just looked it up I'm sorry. I bought this computer along with some print tools recently from a local print guy and found Qimage on there. I will buy a new copy myself.

OK.  No problem.  This happens because the cracked versions are ones where the "hacker" tries to take the demo and modify it to remove limitations (4 prints, one print session, etc.).  That doesn't work and will eventually cause memory problems because the demo wasn't designed to be unlimited: wrong size memory structures, etc.
