Hi guys,

First time I tried to use gradient for print and cannot figure out what's wrong. ;)

Check the screenshots. On the display the gradient looks perfect. In the exported PDF it looks awful.

I've tried circle with radial transparency 0-100% added, and also white circle with white to transparent gradient. Same result. Midpoint is at 40% and I even tried different transparency/color values for this midpoint but it's still the same.

is there a simple way how to achieve this gradient for print?

Thanks.

Color space for document, for monitor in OS, for printer/export?

I've found a way to do it!

Apparently it's got nothing to do with the color space/profile.

All that was needed was to blur the layer with the circle with the amount of 100 - 200px, and then rasterize this layer so there is no color banding.

That's it. 

Yeah!

K tomu by se dalo napsat jediné - "proč to dělat jednoduše, když to jde dělat složitě" 🙂

Podle četnosti dotazů na fóru jde ale u exportu gradientu o celkem běžný problém.

No, taky mi to nejdříve přišlo složité, ale nakonec se ukázalo, že je to hračka. 

Učíme se každým dnem, ne? 😃

On je spíš problém v tom, že se na Affinity nedá v tomto případě spolehnout.
Pak si musíte tisk/export neustále hlídat (co se kde vytisklo jinak než to vypadalo na obrazovce), a pak případně dělat nějaká opatření.
