moonliiner Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 My stroke widths on screen don't match print or pdf output. The output prints/exports too thin. See attached sample squiggly tree. Left is how output, right is how thickness looked on screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Given the color differences, too, are you sure those two are from the same file? What else have you done to get from the image on the right to the image on the left?

moonliiner Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 Hi Walt, I can see how that is confusing, disregard the blue sample. See attached. This is what I have to do with the stroke width to get it to print (or export to pdf) at the width of the previous green sample. Basically I have to make it about 50% thicker and it doesn't look good on screen. So to get an 8 pt stroke to print at 8 pts I have to set it to 12 pt. If I was only printing at home I could live with it but I'll be sending stuff to commercial printers and this makes me think I have no control over width accuracy. I have played with "Scale With Object" vs manual changing after resizing, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted July 13, 2020 Staff Share Posted July 13, 2020 Hi moonliiner, Could you try enabling "Rasterise entire page" in Print > Rasterization dialogue. Also when exporting to PDF set Rasterise to everything, how does it export? Would be helpful if you could attach the Affinity file for this (not the exported PDF).
