stzef Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Hi everyone! I'm just having a bit of trouble with printing a proof. The bars on the side of the image (see attached file) aren't printing when I print from the designer app. I had no problems with the file in illustrator and if I export to a PDF and then print then the lines show up. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Are you able to upload the AD file, it's difficult to determine the issue from the screengrab alone...

It does a lot of things well, but printing isn't one of them. Save yourself the headache and wasted paper and go via a PDF.

Bugs, old and new, general lack of functionality. A few examples.. The preview showed a red "your artwork doesn't fit the page" overlay on everything, regardless whether it would fit or not (now fixed, but was in there for a while). You can choose a CMYK output profile, but what you don't see is that the app converts back to RGB in the background and messes up the colours. Borderless printing has been broken on and off. (I think it works at present). The quality of output is inferior to that from Adobe Reader. Issues with transparencies being rendered to the printer with erroneous borders.

Staff Callum Posted November 18, 2021 Staff Share Posted November 18, 2021 Hi Stzef, When I print this file here it prints correctly with the white border. Please could you provide a screenshot of each section of the print manager so I can look at all your settings and see if any of them differ to mine? Thanks C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Callum Posted November 18, 2021 Staff Share Posted November 18, 2021 Doh!! In that case please try selecting the groups that the bars are in and set the blend mode to normal instead of pass through.
