romaz2 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Hi i want to make some designs to be printed on canvas and posters with affinty designer 2 with a painting or watercolor style, i tried the pixel brushes and vector brushes (i know the are stretched pixels) but both seems blurry when exporting png, i decided to improve the brushes quality buy tracing as vector in Inkscape then export at high quality, i made one vector brush and one pixel brush both from a very high quality image, about 20k pixels, then tried it in a 400 dpi 36x48 inch document (about 14000x19000 pixels) this is the result i got, i am confused if it is good for printing since it looks slightly blurry and pixelated when zooming more than 100% do you think the quality is high enough to be printed on posters and canvas with 18X24 as maximum size? also, how can i know when using the brushes if the are good to be printed? does anybody tried to print pixel work in affinty designer ? thanks the red and blue strokes are vector brush, the other are from a pixel brush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walt.farrell Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 I'm curious why you're zooming more than 100%? Your document will be printed at 100%, so if it looks good at 100% won't it look good when printed?

romaz2 Posted October 24, 2023 Author Share Posted October 24, 2023 thanks for your reply i am trying to make sure that it will be printed in high quality, also i make the design size double of the real printing size, i make 36X48 inch document size to print on 18X24 canvas or poster, with all of that i still have concerns about the printing quality so i am asking to know if other people with experince know something about this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
