Specifying uneven borders

Printing several images with a textline on the lower border on one big sheet of paper I run into a small problem: it's not possible to activate the printing of edges as cutting marks.
On this example I print two 20x30cm sheets on a 61cm/24" paper roll. I use a template with freehand print placement and floating text on the lower border. Freehand print placement because I want a larger lower border for the text. Obviously I can't activate the printing of edges, since they are printed around the image.
A solution would be to define a larger lower border (instead of the existing symmetrical border) and setting the floating text inside the border, to activate the cutting edges.
Right now I measure the borders after printing to apply a mark for the paper cutting. Not a big problem, but using printing edges from Qimage would be more comfortable.

Another solution from the program MatWorks! from Giorgio Trucco, that I use to calculate my mat cuttings:
Here you can define a larger bottom border for the matting style with the options "Bottom Weighted" and "Double Bottom Weighted". I think the larger bottom border is calculated with a percent value. Would that be an option for the border setup in Qimage?

This was just a comparison to explain how MatWorks! creates a larger lower border.
But indeed, the software is a time saver with the traditional mat cutters. My next machine will be an Esterly Standard mat cutting system from
