Blackybgm Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Affinity Publisher is an excellent program, so I switched from Adobe InDesign to Affinity Publisher, Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer. However, I would like to make a suggestion to improve the usability of Affinity Publisher: Each time I want to print a document, the default printer in its basic configuration is automatically selected. For example, if I want to print a photomontage on a particular printer, I have to select that printer each time and choose the appropriate settings (paper, print resolution, color settings etc.) within that printerdialog. If I want to print the document again a few minutes later after any changes have been made, I have to make all settings again. From my point of view it is therefore urgently necessary that the special printer settings are saved with the respective document. This saves a lot of time. I would like to point out at this point that Adobe InDesign has implemented this feature right from the start. Quote

Dan C Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Hi Blackybgm Unfortunately you've Reported the above post, rather than replied to it. I've included your reply below, which was included with the report - Quote Thanks for this tip. Unfortunately for me, this is only a stopgap solution. In a short period of time, this would result in a great many profiles. The InDesign solution is simply more effective Blackybgm 1 Quote
Joachim_L Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Of course the Indesign solution would be better. Perhaps worth a feature request, if this is not already requested? In the meantime setting up basic profiles would save some clicks.
