(Designer) Adjustment on vector images makes it blurry

[cusertrumpl]

Can I make an vector image darker keeping it a pure vector image for the printer?

 

Background

I designed a leaflet in Affinity Designer and printed it out. I noticed that my printer (Canon MG5300) has a lower contrast than my display. I applied a brightness/contrast adjustment on the whole image. The color was ok then.

But the printed picture was blurry because it was sent to the printer as a pixel graphic.

 

Thank you

Any vectors that use Adjustment Layers will be rasterised when printed. What is the DPI of your document? If you make it 300 DPI does it print any better?

What about adjustment layers for EPS export?  Will it be rasterised too?

Hi Immary,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

Yes, all adjustements / filters / FX effects will be rasterised on export no matter the format (except PSD when there's an equivalent).

Only our native format(s) (.afphoto and .afdesign) keep all editable.

Thank you, this helped me.

I never thought about the DPI setting when working with pure vector graphics.

It was set to 72.
