PROBLEM SOLVED 7 HOURS AND 50 SHEETS OP PAPER LATER Please see screenshot, the offending problem lay with Affinity's Preview panel in its Print dialogue box. You see everytime I had settings the preview panel showed the correct alignment the correct number of spreads and the correct orientation. HOWEVER, most other attempts overlaid the preview with a red box, indicating something was wrong. I changed a single setting: Model = Single; and printed wonderfully, BUT the preview is totally incorrect and gives one the impression that you are printing 4 Seperate A4 Portrait orientations which I was not, I was printing Lanscape two spreads (4 x A5). This particular orientation I was trying to print always showed on the preview panel but printed consistently incorrectly. For whatever reason, maybe I need to understnd affinity's reasoning, but the preview panel is a little deceptive, and the wording, by the double sided drop down box is something I do not understand, single sided? Not to mention that Model I do not understand either. Affinity is a great programme, and I am sure the developers are doing a wonderful job, congratulations, and for many reasons l wish to stick with affinity and purchase the Photoshop equivalent if this particular software goes well.
