Title: Printing multiple postcards on one sheet... Post by: clinchfield on August 13, 2020, 07:55:25 PM I'm printing on one 11" x 17" sheet five-up of 4.25" x 6" postcards. (Once I get this to work, I'll do thirteen-up on 17 x 22.) Printer is Canon PRO-1000.
To make the images and their respective texts to align (register), do I: 1. center my images and texts (horizontally) in the Photoshop document, 2. make the document slightly smaller than 11 x 17, 3. and rely on centering in QU? If yes, what QU Placement Method do I use? Title: Re: Printing multiple postcards on one sheet... Post by: admin on August 13, 2020, 11:22:07 PM Can you post an example of what you are trying to do? Are you making each post card separately and then you want to arrange them in Qimage? Or are you making the whole page in Photoshop? That part is not clear to me.

The attached drawing shows the image layout (one for photos, one for texts) centered on the canvas of the document. The PRO-1000 specs say the minimum side margins are 0.13" - so I was thinking I could create a Photoshop document with a canvas 10.73 wide. Will the centering in QU get me reasonably close to being in register horizontally? If yes, should I use Center or IntelliCenter? Title: Re: Printing multiple postcards on one sheet... Post by: admin on August 14, 2020, 01:15:47 AM If you just want to center the whole image on both sides, use IntelliCenter since that will center the image on the physical paper. You could enable the print preview in the driver to confirm placement before you actually print.

However, would it be easier for the OP to just use one image/text and use Qimage placement functions? Title: Re: Printing multiple postcards on one sheet...

That's the way I would do it but I presume in a case like this, the OP has been making post cards that way in PS for a while and might be using editing and design features (for both the pictures and the text) that are specific to PS. As long as you're not doing more complex editing like 3 dimensional text, special PS graphics overlays, etc. it can certainly all be done in just Qimage. Regards, Mike |
