Explore printing options with me!

[mllejules]

I need to print a variety of cards – greeting cards, for example, photo cards, postcards, etc. I'm really struggling to get decent results with Photoshop. There simply aren't enough printing options. Placement becomes guesswork. Printing from PDFs in Preview also isn't working well. I'm exploring different options.

 

I'm considering buying Affinity Designer in hopes that it will make this job simpler – and not just for printing, but also fill in the areas where I need Illustrator but resort to PS. Sadly I let my Designer trial lapse before investigating this myself. Presuming that my trial can't be extended for a day or two, can users please share screenshots and other information on the type of layout and printing options I would get with Affinity? Is it a good option for me? Do you have other recommendations?

 

I'm on a mac running latest OS.

 

Many thanks!

Thank you, downloaded the actions and tried it.

 

But I'm in Europe, so I want A sizes! 5x7 and 8x10 stuff is mostly meaningless here. Doesn't mean the programme isn't useful, but not really what I'm looking for.
