I am printing using Qimage Pro V 2010.102 to an Epson R1800; 4 images per sheet,
borderless, sheets filled to the sides & top.  This produces Four 4.25 X 5.50 prints
on a sheet; which suits my frugality by saving paper over the standard 4 X 6 size,
 AND I don't have to make more cuts than need when extricating each print.

On each print I place small font file name - which is set to a photo date & time,
on the lower right; so I can quickly find reprints when required.

I just finished printing a substantial part of my 2009 photos - some 75 pages.

Upon examination, I discovered that the Qimage Info Stamp was missing from all
pages on the right hand side of the portrait loaded paper.  Further, it appears that
 the very bottom of the print - which includes the info stamp - has been shaved
of a small amount of image.  Further, the left hand side appears to have also been
 shaved; i.e., the top of the 2 left hand side prints on the page.

All print pages show all image data and Info Stamps in place in Qimage just fine prior
 to printing.  But somewhere between Qimage & the printer, the sides have been shaved !

I saw the comment about there perhaps being a quality loss when printing borderless,
but did not expect an actual image data loss!

Is there any way I can ensure that all Qimage proofed data actually makes it all the
way onto my print page - right to the edges?  Or am I asking too much of either the
printer or Qimage? 

 

I just tried an alternate method of Custom, Make 2 x 2 prints to the page =4
Placement will go to Template
The print size when adding 4 images is still 4.25 x 5.50
I get exactly the same results....  and should I click on info, immediately, the screen templates will go to two images even before I add images.
So I need to see what you are doing.

Thanks, Terry.
I was thinking that he was using INFO check mark.
The Info stamp is in the batch screen.
I think his best bet is Floating text while keeping his print sizes and placement.
After all frugality was the key word. :-)

Hi Art,

" Is nothing ever easy in digital imaging !!"

 I know you meant it as a rhetorical question, but could you even think of doing this with film/darkroom processing?

If you can align your paper spot on, and have a printer with suitable paper guide mechanism, you will be able to print without the white edges. It may be better to use a Qimage white border on each image and you may not notice the slight skew/width differences between them.

Best wishes,

Ray

Thnx Fred - will check Floating Text out further.

Migla9 - Thats IT !!  Thank you.  Its not perfect as to the very small page side white slivers - but I can live with that; if it means easier picture slicing and still keeping my 4 X 4 per page - AND the WHOLE image INCLUDING the 'Info Stamp' on each picture.  Great!  Thank you again!
