Title: package printing
Post by: ddavesaunders on December 02, 2018, 07:26:38 PM
Can I make a template, for like a sport package?

As a sample, to click on an image and have it do 1-8x10-2-5x7 and 8w? with out having to click on each size? 

so I could select pkg. A and it print what I need from that image?

Absolutely.

Let me start by saying that there are quite a number of premade templates just for the clicking.
To make your own, Is easly to do but wordy to explain.
1) Open QU.
2) Open the PRINTS tab if not already open.
3) Select ypur first size you like (5 x 7).
4) Slide to the last thumbnail which says TEMPLATE
5) If we are dealing with 8.5 x 11 sheets, that fills a sheet with two templates.
6) Now go back to the PRINTS tab and select 2 x 3 wallets.
7) back to thumbs and the Template thumb. click 6 times for 6 wallets.
8) Back to Prints tab, and choose 4 x 6 for the size.
9) Back to templates and click once.
That will give you templates of 2 5 x7, 6 wallets, and one 4 x 6 on 2 pages.
10)  Now it's time to SAVE that.  Go to top left corner of the main screen and click the floppy disk icon.
11) CLICK THE "L" button for Layout. (see attached)
12) Name it. And click SAVE

When you want to use it:
You MUST as in MUST, click on Prints Tab and select the CUSTOM button. Put a dot in the Layout line, and OK.
Select your saved name, and OPEN.
Now to add your images the easy way, see screen snap, on the PRINTS tab again there's a box for number of copies of prints.
Set to 10 to fill the 10 templates you made.
If you have another order with a different mage, just click the plus on the thumb of that image, and you get 10 more in a continuing template of the second image.
Let us know how you  did.
Any questions, feel free.
