APRusticCreations Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 can someone please update this thread? it's so frustrating when other users are having the same issue and trying to find a resolution but there's no updated post to show how to correct. I'm having the same problem. I had a client ask me to recreate his logo, but add my own ideas. I retraced his logo with the pen tool in vector persona. I exported eps and sent to supplier for printing on t-shirts. however, she said my work is rasterized. When she opens the file, it looks like bitmap! When I send it to myself, I see the same issue! However, when I send the original AD file, it's perfect and all layers are there and editable. This is driving me absolutely insane! Please advise. Spare me from wasting money on AI.

Quote Export Options panel For PDF, SVG and EPS file formats: Rasterize—select an option for rasterizing design elements which are unsupported by the file format. Select from the pop-up menu: Nothing—no elements within the design are rasterized on export, therefore unsupported elements are not included in the exported file. Everything—all elements within the design are rasterized for a resulting exported file which perfectly matches your original design. Unsupported properties—only unsupported elements are rasterized in the exported file. Downsample images—select whether to downsample raster images within the design. Above—if this set DPI is exceeded by raster design elements, those elements will be rasterized down to this set DPI. This option is dependent on the Downsample images option being active. Use document resolution—ensures the export is the same DPI as the current project's setting. Use DPI—overrides the current project's resolution setting for the export. The exported image's DPI is set using the adjacent input box Allow JPEG compression—when selected, rasterized design elements will be compressed to decrease exported file size. If this option is off, rasterized design elements will be exported as uncompressed. ... and if you maybe used some FX effects, transparency or gradients inside the doc for the logo (?), since those are usually rasterized for the EPS format.

Staff MEB Posted November 27, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 27, 2019 Hi APRusticCreations, Welcome to Affinity Forums EPS is an old and quite limited format - are you using any transparency, blend modes, complex gradients or something that it may not support? Also note that some Affinity features are also rasterised on export no matter the format chosen - FX Effects being one of them. Are you using them on your design? Without seeing the original afdesign file is difficultto to tell what's causing the rasterisation. Do you mind attaching it to your reply or uploading it to us for checking? I can provide an upload link if you wish to keep the file private. Thanks.
