Affinity Designer v2.4 does not print multiple artboards with bleed (regression AF-739)

[ricardotejo]

Steps:

1. Create a new Designer document with 2 artboards of 270x190 mm with bleed configured to 10mm each side.

2. Put some filled rectangles in the bleed area and ensure the objects are inside the artboards.

3. Print to any printer, select size A4 landscape, Model Single. In Rasterization only check include bleed:

4. When the Range is selected to a single artboard, it works and shows the colored border:

5. But, when all the Artboards option is selected in Range, the color from the objects in the bleed gone on both pages.

 

I'm using Affinity Designer 2.4 Desktop for Windows 11

The same happens when use Model: N-Up.

1. I created 4 artboard of 190x128mm with bleed of 10mm each side, there is one rectangle with outside border of 10mm colored.

2. When a single artboard is printed to an A5 page, the bleed is visible

3. When is printed into an A3 page with N-Up of 2x2 the bleed disappeared (with 10mm on left and top, and 20mm on V and H gaps).

> It should at print 10mm of each bleed in the gap and the the outside.

Note: Only bleed is selected in both examples:

Temporary solution: I've just found that opening the file in Publisher and convert the artboards into spreads allow us to print all the document with bleed, it also work with N-Up
