Title: Print Orientation Problem Post by: vjbelle on May 12, 2012, 07:13:03 PM I have an Epson 9900 and am printing to 44 inch canvas. Its been a while since I've printed but have been using Qimage for some time but I've run into a real problem. I want my image to be printed to 30X40 inches (the image is 4X3 format). I set the custom setting to knowing one of the widths so that Qimage will determin the other - I have set the short side to 30 inches. I have set a paper size of 44X 46 inches and want the 30 inch width to be placed on the 44 inch width of the paper and the 40 inch length set to the 46 inch hight of the paper. I need to do this because I have to have around three inches of overlap on all sides for easy stapling and don't have any 36 inch paper at the moment. However, Qimage will not let me orient the image so that it feeds vertically onto the roll. It will only allow me to print with the 40 inches across the width of the roll - giving me only two inches on each side for stapling. No matter what I do including changing orientation, or changing the custom setting to knowing the long side and letting Qimage determin the short side. To say the least this is very frustrating as I feel it must be something simple that I've overlooked. I've wasted six feet of 44 inch wide canvas and hours of time...... this really should be very easy but for some reason isn't.
Am using 2012.217. Any help greatly appreciated. Victor Title: Re: Print Orientation Problem Post by: Fred A on May 12, 2012, 07:30:47 PM Quote Am using 2012.217. Any help greatly appreciated. Hi Victor, It seems too easy. I must have missed something, but here goes. I did what you said, roll paper width 44.0 inches, and length, 46 inches. I went into custom size and told Qimage I want a 40 x 30 print. I add my image, set crop scissor on, and there's the print rotated wrong by 90 degrees. I click on the Print properties button on the image, and click the rotate clockwise button. All done! See snap, and tell me what I missed.

Thanks so much for responding. I found that setting right after I posted the message...... Very frustrating as I thought that by choosing portrait mode that the image would be automatically rotated but it isn't..... at least not on the roll of paper. I put up with my learning frustrations because I have yet to find anything that prints better than Qimage. It is an amazing print engine. :) Thanks again for your help.....

Portrait/landscape is referring to the orientation of the paper. Fred |
