D.Alex Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I just switched from Illustrator to Affinity Designer and I'm really impressed with everything. However I have come up against an issue that I can't seem to figure out. I am printing my file with a label printer that uses a custom paper size. When I open the print dialogue the only option for Paper Size is US Letter. I have several custom paper sizes saved in system preferences and I can use them from every other application. What do I need to do in Affinity Designer to print custom sizes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Leigh Posted October 21, 2015 Staff Share Posted October 21, 2015 Welcome to the forums D.Alex :) Do you have anything listed under Presets? What other devices do you have listed under the Printer dropdown? Have you always had the warning symbol next to the printer name? Sorry for all the questions!

D.Alex Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 I quit and reopened Affinity designer and suddenly all my print sizes came back. I can't get the problem to repeat, so I guess everything's fine. The warning icon is always next to that printer because I don't use the name brand paper rolls. Thanks for looking into it.

Nia0216 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I am trying to create custom paper sizes when printing. It shows me in millimetres, but would prefer inches. Is there a way to change it? Also I don't know if it makes a different that its wireless print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use Apple's print window in macOS and I think you have to change units to US within System Preferences > Language & Region > Advanced > Measurement Units for this to show Inches instead of mm.
