Hello everyone. I created a speech bubble, rasterized it, filled it with white, set the layer transparency to 20%, and added a drop shadow. The whole thing sits on a brown background. When I received the printed flyer today, I unfortunately discovered that due to the double transparency, the area outside the filled speech bubble is not 100% transparent, and a lighter area is now visible against the background. If I now fill the white, transparent area with a solid color, this error does not occur.
I think this error should be fixed as soon as possible, as it's not visible and doesn't appear when printed on a desktop printer. Even when viewing the PDF, depending on the color, it's almost invisible. Unfortunately, I'll have to reorder the flyers. That's annoying.

Cheers
Michael

Moin Michael Grenz und willkommen im Forum.

Sorry von Deinem Problem zu hören.

Am einfachsten wäre es, wenn Du das PDF Dokument "flattened" erzeugst dann sind keine Unterschiede mehr möglich.

Wenn man DPF Dokumente mit einer Kombination von bestimmten Eigenschaften verwendet, kann dies zu unterschiedlicher Darstellung je nach Anwendung oder Druckgerät führen. So sollte man die Kombination von CMYK und Transparenz oder besondere Mischmodi besser meiden, siehe unten. Solche Funktionen stammen aus der RGB Welt, und sind in im CMYK Farbraum nicht eindeutig definiert.

Viele Drucker können mit RGB Farbmodell umgehen, dort vermeidet man die Probleme. 

 

Das Forum ist voll von Berichten über Probleme mit PDF und Transparenz. Nur das wenigste wird von Affinity als "bug" anerkannt, und ggf. behoben.

Besser ist es, die Kombinationen zu vermeiden.

I use iPad screenshots and videos even in the Desktop section of the forum when I expect no relevant difference.
