Lano Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Hi fellow designers, Making the transfer from Illustrator. A few little nits and glitches in Designer, and a few features I miss, but it really is getting there now! What a brilliant product. I am experiencing a stroke printing problem. Strokes are printing too skinny and emaciated-looking. If I have a big fat stroke, it prints as a skinny little line for most of the strokes throughout the document. I can fix it by temporarily rasterising the object, then print, then undo the rasterisation, but it would be a big pain to go through my entire document doing that before printing. Come to think of it, a workaround would be just to export to TIFF, then print. Guess that works, but I expect the type wouldn't be quite as crisp. Interestingly, expanding the strokes also makes them too skinny. So I'm figuring this is how Designer is "interpreting" the strokes in some way. I'm printing on a Canon Pixma IP 7250. Designer v. 1.3.2. Latest version OS X. How can I fix this? Thanks, Lano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Harris Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I'm sorry about this: it's a bug in printing. It has to do with the Scale with object setting; shapes with that unchecked seem OK. Vector export is unaffected, so a workaround is to File > Export as PDF, and then print the PDF (eg from the OS X Preview). We'll look at getting this fixed ASAP.

Lano Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 Thank you Dave, That's not too painful a workaround - and it keeps it vector so great. Thank you! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Harris Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 It'll be fixed in the next beta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
