[Printed document larger than it should be]

Grateful for all the help here. Thanks

Just one more quick question...so does this mean that when sent to a print company they will be able to print out the correct size? It would be a PDF I'd send them.

Thanks Dan. It's great to have that sorted....at least I know I'm not going mad and don't have to buy a new printer.

Many thanks Hangman for that...it is indeed a printer issue.

Does anyone have suggestions for an Affinity compatible A3 printer?

Hi Dan

Thanks for the help. I could understand if the document was an extra 3mm on all 4 sides (I've now changed the bleed to 5mm) but the fact that the document has only changed by 3mm width and 3mm height is baffling. I am really wondering if it's my printer. 

I've attached screenshots. Scale is 100%. Bleed is now 5mm. Document is the correct size...when it prints out 3 mm has been added on the width and height.

 

Thanks

Hi

Yes I have bleed selected but I'm measuring between the crop marks to find the finished size so the bleed shouldn't affect that. Printing scale is at 100% but maybe it is the printer at fault. I'm printing a packaging wrap on an A3 printer. Maybe I'll have to do a test on a different printer to see if it's the problem. 

I have each fold line spaced at 57mm but when printed these have stretched to nearer 58mm which would account for the extra 3mm on the overall size.

Hi. I'm new to Affinity Designer. I'm pulling my hair out as I must have done something wrong but can't work out what. I have set up a document (Press-ready) that is 242mm x 222mm. In document setup those are the dimensions that show. On screen those measurements are correct. I have a 3mm bleed on all sides. 

My problem is that when I print out the document the measurements have increased to 245mm x 225mm!

I'm stuck. Help please.
