sbe Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Hello, I am in desperation. I am simply not able to print CMYK 100% K directly from Affinity. It always rasterizes the black. I have a b/w laser printer (HP LaserJet M402dw). What is the trick? How do you do it? If you export that document as PDF and then print in Acrobat it works: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbe Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 Oh! Crazy, are you sure? I think that should be possible somehow, don't you? That surprises me now 🤔 Dazmondo77 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbe Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 Hey! I have taken the time over Easter to try to find a workaround via Printer Settings, ICC profiles etc. but it just doesn't work. Affinity cannot send CMYK 0 0 0 100 to the printer without rasterizing it 🤦♂️ This is of course very unfortunate and also a bit surprising that a DTP program with print focus in mind only works reliably in the HSL color space... I hope something changes fundamentally with version 2.0 and you can create documents with mixed color spaces in RGB and CMYK colors and print/export without converting the color values like in Indesign 👉 In the meantime, if anyone finds a workaround, let me know!
