Stuart444 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I'm using Affinity for Windows, 1.5.0.45 and a Canon iP8750 printer. I'm having two problems in printing which I hope someone might help with. 1. When printing less than A4 (as a proof before committing to a large print) I find it prints off-centre. So if I print an image on A3 or A4 and it comes out as expected mainly filling the paper, and then print it on half a sheet of A4 and tell the printer that the paper is 7"x5", half of the print is off the paper. (It can miss the paper completely if I print even smaller using my Canon MG5450.) I could not use the paper guides which guide and centralise the paper I guess, but it shouldn't do this. This also happened with the betas I tried, which I reported, maybe it's a bug and the fix is still in the pipeline? 2. When printing a particular image, I'm getting one or more very fine black lines on the print when printing the afphoto file. These do not appear in the image on the screen. They are vertical and horizontal only, usually 2 or 3, extending most of the width or height of the paper, always in the same place on the image irrespective of what size I have printed it. The image is a composite of a background layer and a couple of added pixel layers; these layers are irregular and have no straight edges in them, and they are the same size as the background layer. When I switched the layers off, the lines disappeared on the print. Then with the layers back on again, the lines printed again, but when I exported as a jpg and opened that, it printed without a problem. Is this sort of problem usual when printing afphoto files directly? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens if you export your design to PDF and use Adobe Reader to print to 7x5? Does it print OK for you? 2.

Is this sort of problem usual when printing afphoto files directly? Does this happen when printing any .afphoto file or just a particular .afphoto file?

Stuart444 Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Sorry Lee, I've been distracted. I don't use Adobe reader but I'll try it in my usual pdf reader and let you know, The black lines were only one afphoto file and it hasn't occurred on any other. I'll try to print it again and see If the problem remains. Leigh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
