cmkme Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 The colors will not print. Anything I make seems to only print in muted blacks and cyan. I tried multiple color modes and even tried messing with colors in Adobe after finishing graphics in Affinity. The result is the same. I bought this to primarily to use for making print items. As far as I can see now, the software is incapable of fulfilling this need if i can't print. I feel disappointed and cheated. Is there a reason nothing prints correctly? Using MacBook Pro.

firstdefence Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Welcome to the forum @cmkme Do colour documents print from other apps correctly? Have you run a print check from your printer? Do you have a sample document that prints poorly for us to try our end?

Alfred Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 In addition to the questions that @firstdefence has asked, have you tried exporting to PDF? You could then print the resultant file from a PDF viewer if (and only if) it looks correct when opened there.

cmkme Posted January 19, 2023 Author Share Posted January 19, 2023 I tried many things. I can print from any software with any file that isn't created in Affinity apps. I created items in Designer and Publisher. Saved them as PDFs, which looked fine. Opened in Acrobat and printed and it didn't work. Also opened PDF in Photoshop and saved as TIFF and printed from Photoshop and InDesign after placing the tiff. Same result with both: it didn't work. I am on my phone and can't get file now.

firstdefence Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 When you have access to the file upload it or a sample of it and or lets get some screenshots of the settings you have in Affinity, especially colour profile settings, the layer stack expanded, any filters and adjustment layers that may affect the end result on export, or printing from Affinity.

Staff stokerg Posted February 23, 2023 Staff Share Posted February 23, 2023 Hi @cmkme, Are you still having trouble with printing? Your file is printing just fine here from my MacBook and iMac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
