I've done a couple of test prints from Designer V2 as it's the current version. I've also exported out using the same PDF settings and then printed from Adobe Acrobat. So far all exports and print outs are fine, no issues with the lines.
Hey @Lee D, thanks so much for taking the time to check. I'm relieved to hear you didn't have any issues.
I'll have access to the printer again on Friday (it's at work) so will give it another try then. I still find it strange, though, that @firstdefence also had problems with the file.
Thanks again. -

No, that doesn't normally happen.
just for funs, I copied the paths from LineTest2.afpub into Illustrator and printed from illustrator, the result was a single step line on the right side of each rectangle approx mid way down the right edge, I didn't get the stepped lines on the internal vertical lines. I then printed from Affinity Publisher and got the same result.
So, illustrator produced the same result with the paths in the same way as Affinity Publisher. So same paths/curves, same print driver software. I also did an alignment check and printed again with the same result above.
Wooow thank you for the thorough check. So strange.

Thanks! Will have a deeper dig into this.

Weird..... But also somewhat comforting that it printed fine for you.

Good morning,
Thank you all so much for your replies. I really appreciate it.

You're absolutely right, the file was slightly different to the original photo. My mistake, sorry. I believe I've now attached the correct file.
Also, thank you, thank you @firstdefence and @Hilltop for test printing! So weird how different the outcomes are. I only get misalignments on the outer borders.
@firstdefence Do you sometimes see staggered lines with your printer?On 3/4/2023 at 10:25 PM, henryanthony said:@Wigwag If you post the PDF, I would be happy to print it out on my black and white laser printer. Maybe others would try it too.
Thank you! The pdf doesn't seem to want to attach.....

This is my feeling too at the moment.

My guess is that the paper slipped in the printer.
I hope that's all it is. It's happened with several different ADesigner files now. So you reckon it might not be anything to worry about?

Aaah true. Thank you!

Hi @NotMyFault, thanks so much for your quick reply. Appreciate it.

I only created one page.

Here's a screenshot of one of the PDF settings I used:


I've also attached the afpub file. The misalignment is only visible once it's been printed (mainly on the outer box borders).

Hello,
I've created several test PDFs (with various PDF settings) in Designer and Publisher (v1), but whenever I go to print, the lines are slightly misaligned. This mostly seems to happen with the vertical lines. PDFs that have been created in Illustrator and InDesign seem to print without any problems so I don't think it's a printer issue.
Attached is a close up of one of the printed test PDFs. Am hoping someone might know how to solve this.Thanks so much for your time.

Haha, wow. I'm touched by all this effort.
Aaaaah okay. Thank you!
