Print Quality differences between Text Frame & Artistic text

[Niklas23432432]

I'm not sure if it's qualified to be a bug, but I noticed when printing small text (6 Pt), that the Artistic text has a much better print quality compared to the Text Frame text. I would like to know if that's somehow fixable.

Hi @Niklas23432432 and welcome to the forums.

Are you printing via PostScript? I doubt it has anything to do with a text frame vs. art text, it's probably that your text frame is using black defined as K100 while the art text black is a rich black.

This is a known issue with Affinity - it doesn't appear possible to print K100 black to PostScript printers without fuzziness. I don't believe it has been logged as a bug but it's been discussed before. It works fine with PCL printers.
