Designer - colors of filled text off on print

[tom_tav]

Hello! Run into a little problem:

Affinity Designer 1.7.2 OSX

Situation:

1 Layer with rectangle as background color, CMYK 0,87,100,0, opacy 100%

1 Layer with big Text (589.4 pt), color CMYK 0,87,100,0, opacy 100%

Text with outline enabled, color BLACK, opacy 100%, Radius 33px

On the screen it looks correct.

When i print it the Text (inside) has a slightly different color. 

Why??? I did use the same color for background, foreground, whatever, all via color picker. I checked the values. 

 

EDIT: I print on a Epson 7600 w. color profile. And i print just an Artboard for testing, not the full document. When i print as pdf the rgb values are the same in Preview. But the produced pdf file is just grayscale when i print it or open it in another program....

UPDATE:

 

The above behaviour happens only when you select a part of the drawing with the Artboard Tool and print it.

On a full scale print it is ok.

So my next question is: How to print just a part of the drawing (as quality /color preview for 2 x 1 meter prints) ?

I do not miss printing issues, hope you find a solution though

You could try Pdf then print from Acrobat reader - worth a go? - I find Preview is just as bad as Affinity for print

I dont need PDF, it was just for testing. Print via Artboard as PDF seems to create a buggy pdf definition, it includes a RGB color profile but the image definition is grayscale. Illustrator doesnt complain, but some other programs do. 

Like written above it seems to be a bug with the Artboard tool.

 

My Q is now: How can i print (not pdf) just a part (selection) of my drawing?
