For some things I do (mainly cards) I have predefined layouts that make it easy for me to have text, images, and layouts print in defined places on a page. On Qimage Studio these layouts were accessed by the 'custom' selection in the 'print poperties' section on the print page - in Ultimate there is no 'print properties' section on the print page that I can find.
Is there some way to toggle this on/off, or if not, how do you select (and create, possibly) custom layouts in Qimage Ultimate?

Thanks Terry!
That's exactly what I needed - I hadn't noticed there was an extra icon for print propoerties at the right hand edge of the icon group! Good to see that layouts still work (the oldest is ten years old) - that means I don't need to retain a copy of Studio to print cards.

Printer - if you've got one that can take 300gsm paper it'll do (sorry - don't know US/ Australian equivalent designation but towards the heavy end of inkjet papers) I've used Epson 1160, 1200, 2400 and 3880 over the last ten years or so

Layout - use Qimage to create a layout! - I'll attach one of mine. What you do is up to you!

Paper - you probably don't have these exact papers available (and you don't need them) but I mostly use
for a matt surface art paper I use a cotton fibre paper - for a smooth surface Innova IFA14 and for a textured surface Innove IFA12. These are both just over 300gsm.
for a textured gloss surface I use Permajet Fibre Base Royal 325 (325gsm). This is a gloss coated suface over cotton fibre paper. (I don't like mirror gloss smooth sufaces so don't have one for that)

These papers are simply the papers I usually have in stock for my fine art photography prints, and I just fold the A4 size to make a print. (Cheaper papers tend to crack on folding).

Folding - Find a local craft shop if possible and see what they have for folding cards (the tool I have is unnamed, and the small UK company I bought it from no longer exists) - there are lots of articles online on folding paper for cards too. Alternatively your usual paper supplier may also provide prefolded cards, though these may slightly catch the print heads on the fold, leaving a dirty smear.

Depending on volume, and intended use, the cheapest option could simply be finding a local printer and talking to them. (or you cold upload to redbubble and order cards from them!)

Glad to be able to help, occasionally.
I know its heresy, but I only use Qimage for printing, and have done since the first version I found  when I was looking for a program that did a good job of resizing an image and preparing output for print. Photoshop 5 (not CS5!) was rubbish at the first, and and didn't really even attempt the second.
I've given the Qimage editor a try a couple of times (first version, and Studio) but just can't get on with it. I use Photoshop mostly when I want layers for some reason, otherwise Lightroom (I used to use Rawshooter before they were bought by Adobe).  Their approaches to editting better suits what I want to do. Qimage's approach to printing is far ahead of either.
I visit the forum occasionally, but not very often.
