I have Qimage Ultimate set up to always put a white border of 0.10 and a black border of 0.01 inches on all images printed. I use the Borders section under the Prints tab to do this. It works well but for some reason I can't understand Qimage sometimes doesn't print the borders. This happens often enough that it is a problem for me. I rely on these borders for cutting the prints afterwards. I am hoping someone knows why this happens. I associate it happening if I change the orientation of a print manually and if I change the readouts from Imperial to Metric and vice versa, but I am only guessing at this.

Also is there a short cut for changing between Imperial and Metric, I have to do this so often using the File menu is very slow?

After taking out another years registration, how do I get a business invoice, we are in the UK?

Thanks for any help

Hi Steve.
I am trying to figure out what you did to insure Qimage will. open any print with two borders.
Also are you in plus borders or print size including borders?
Plus borders and Fit to page print size might not work(not enough room)
But since you mention rotating, I can assume the prints are smaller than the  page.

So with all that guesswork .... the way I do it is simple.
Place an image in the queue, select it, add your borders.
Now up at the top of the page toward the left click on the padlock.
Then click it again so it asks whether you want to save/lock previous or current.
Click Current..... all done.

That's happened to me on odd occasions!
If the border is set and then the images are added to the queue the border is applied.
However if there is no border set, ie. size = zero, and the images are added to the queue, then no border is applied of course.
If you then want to add borders, you must select the images in the queue before setting the border.
