Title: make printing workflow more efficient Post by: Visual Photography on September 05, 2014, 08:40:12 PM Hi Mike!
Is there a way to populate an entire template, say 8-wallets, with one image using just one click instead of eight clicks? Title: Re: make printing workflow more efficient Post by: Terry-M on September 05, 2014, 09:31:37 PM Hi,

Yes but not quite one click if you count the preparation!Open the template layout from Print Properties - Custom Set the number of "Copies to Add" to 8, see screen shot below. Select the thumbnail Click the red + button adjacent to the Copies to Add box; NB. the + becomes red once thumbs are selected That will load your template with the 8 copies of the one image. Done Don't forget to set Copies to Add back to 1 when finished ::) Terry Title: Re: make printing workflow more efficient Post by: Visual Photography on September 09, 2014, 08:32:16 PM ok cool I got that part figured out.... nowww.
Is there a way to save that setting for a custom template. For instance: We always print 8 wallets from one image. How can I get that particular custom template to always open with 8 copies set. Same with pairs of 5x7s or four -3.5 x5s. etc etc? Title: Re: make printing workflow more efficient Post by: Terry-M on September 09, 2014, 10:40:56 PM Hi,
Quote Is there a way to save that setting for a custom template. I cannot find a way at present. I tried loading a template and set the number of copies to 8 and then saved that as a job. However when the job was recalled, the number of copies was not changed.For instance: We always print 8 wallets from one image. How can I get that particular custom template to always open with 8 copies set. Same with pairs of 5x7s or four -3.5 x5s. etc etc? Maybe Mike can suggest something or make that a new feature in some way.

Now another question: Is there a way to get Qimage to open by default to the print size menu in the CUSTOM mode? We always and only use our custom templates and it would save several clicks, hence production time, hence payroll=profit! ;D Title: Re: make printing workflow more efficient Post by: Terry-M on September 12, 2014, 07:45:57 PM Hi,

A little bird has flown across the Atlantic that tells me that saving the number of copies may well be on it;'s way soon ;)Regarding easier access to the Custom size menu, Mike is aware of your request.
