cusertrumpl Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Leigh Posted March 29, 2016 Staff Share Posted March 29, 2016 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immary Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 What about adjustment layers for EPS export? Will it be rasterised too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 30, 2016 Staff Share Posted March 30, 2016 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.
