Printing offset


Recommended Posts

When printing duplex, the printout does not match, usually. First/second page has to be repositioned for a small amount of units. So, can you add this option to print dialog box to offset one of the pages to fit each other while printing (on paper or PDF) instead of reposition them in AD? I saw this feature in Papyrus (text processor) and it is very usefull.

No, Jens it is not. As I mentioned in my previous post this repositioning was available only when I was using Papyrus and was not available to any other software using the same printer.

I agree this should be a feature in Affinity. There are many applications in the Mac space that include the ability to make minor shifts in page position when printing. Label printing apps use this extensively, for example. Different printers and drivers work differently, and for small design runs where I work & turn or work & tumble, it's be a HUGE help to have this ability in the Print dialog box. The devs can extend the Print Panel fairly easily by adding an accessory view (with locationOfPrintRect: and addAccessoryView:), which would allow one to add left/right shifts of the page at the point/mm level.

Left/right and top/down shifts, also.
