LadyFH Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Hello I am trying to print a booklet of 16 page A5 onto A4 landscape. I have a art graphics printer that has duplex function. Despite my best efforts I am unable to print my booklet correctly. When I use the dialog box for printing with Affinity Publisher to print the booklet booklet selected double sided selected Short side selected for binding Duplex printing has worked for the booklet, but the rear pages print upside down Please can you help solve this as I am printing a forest of paper and wasting ink and of course my time in trying to solve this. I look forward to hearing from the forum with a solution Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyFH Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 Hello dear helpers Thank you for your advise. I have now sorted the issue. I watched the help video for printing different documents and this time I managed to print my booklet without any issues. Not sure where I went wrong with the previous attempts, but thankful that I have sorted it. Regards MF Dan C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaytex Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I'm having this same issue! I've tried everything...nothing is working... I REALLY REALLY wanted to like this app so I could use it instead of InDesign...but small things like this...they kill my ambition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slaytex Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 From the File menu, select Print. From the dialog, set your Paper Size, e.g. A4. In the Print Options pop-up menu, select Document Layout. From the Model pop-up menu, select 'Booklet'. This instructs the print process to impose the pages. In the Print Options pop-up menu, select Layout. From the Two-Sided pop-up menu*, choose 'Short-Edge Binding'. Click Print. (Doesn't work) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted April 21, 2021 Staff Share Posted April 21, 2021 Hi @slaytex, Sorry to hear you're heaving trouble! When you say the above steps don't work, what happens please? Do you see an error message and your document simply fails to print? Does the document print, but content is missing? Or is it not printing in the expected order for a booklet? How is your document setup please? (ie how many pages are there, is facing pages enabled, does the doc start on the left or right hand page?) The more information you can provide regarding your document and the current print results, the easier it will be to assist here. Many thanks in advance Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.
