AFY7 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I am working with a printer who prefers PDFs at 600 DPI. Affinity Publisher's drop-down menu for Raster DPI goes up to 400. However, you can manually enter 600. In this case, does Publisher really export the PDF at 600 DPI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFY7 Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 Lagarto, Thank you for the excellent information. I am getting inconsistent messages from the printer. Now he is saying 400 DPI in the PDF is fine and that 600 DPI is the resolution in the actual factory print. I'll see how this all works out when I submit the file for his approval.

sugr Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 hi there. i am attaching 2 exported pdfs 1) where i "simply" changed the DPI in the export screen - this did not work. the dotted pattern is not at te required resolution - perhaps because of the downsampling-issue of the background dotted image. (the larger file) 2) when preparing the second pdf i did 2 things: 1) i set the document DPI at 1200 and i dismissed "resample images above 400dpi" the detailed export settings. that seem to have worked to keep the resolution of the pattern.

RSI Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Hi! I worked in a print shop (Germany) and it wasn't just a small print shop, but we also printed books and other projects. And we also always used 600 DPI for our printing plates, or in the PDF export that was then used for the printing plates. I don't understand why Affinity doesn't support 600 DPI as a setting! Every professional software supports 600 DPI! This is not professional for me if this is simply ignored! Sorry, I bought Publisher because I thought Affinity was professional. But I guess I was wrong.... I have to export/convert my documents to 600 DPI every time now, because the Publisher did not save a setting of 600 DPI. Direct printing to a printer with 600 DPI is therefore not possible at all! Very bad... I am quite disappointed with this software! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set up your document with 600 dpi first and you are good to go. Or make templates with 600 dpi.

bediicco Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Hey, i am using Publisher 2 on iPad, changing document dpi manually greater than 400 shows 400 after entering the value and export to pdf greater than 600 remains to stay at 600. Is that different on iPad? Am I not free to take values greater than 400 and 600 dpi? Quote Affinity on iPad 🙌🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
