Heatherp94 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Hi there! I make mugs and I've been using affinity designer the whole time, now every image suddenly has this speckle around it, like tiny tiny dots which when the mugs are pressed make the graphics/text kinda fuzzy? I've got a photo but it's genuinely so hard to capture but I'll post it anyway I don't know how to fix it, I've tried exporting as pdf, jpg, pdf I don't think it's a printer issue because it's so consistent like it's every single image If anyone has any advice I'd appreciate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using an Epson ET2850 but it was happening on my Epson L3111 as well before it died, I'm on Windows, my affinity is Affinity Designer and is 1.10.6.1665 I think? I do have a file I can upload for sure, it doesn't show up on the file though only when it prints but I'm kind of a novice so maybe someone can see something I can't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Bruce Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Is this paper textured? Sure looks like it to me, and that would maybe be the problem. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.2 Affinity Designer 2.3.1 | Affinity Photo 2.3.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.3.1 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally get how it looks like that but no, it's sublimation paper which is absolutely not textured, I think every paper probably looks like that when it's taken a photo of in super macro mode maybe Edit: it's probably worth mentioning that I've been using the exact same paper and affinity designer to do this for years, and this has only happened in the last week or so Edited December 10, 2022 by Heatherp94 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee_T Posted February 19, 2023 Staff Share Posted February 19, 2023 Hi Heatherp94, Are you printing directly from Affinity, if so, do you get the same result printing from your resulting image in a different app and have you experimented with differing print settings?
