NBG Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Hi, maybe you have read my other post regarding the distressed logo. My printer only guarantees lines and details down to 0.7 mm in size (narrower lines and smaller details may still be visible). Is there a way to easily check if all elements are "thick" enough? I saw such a tool on an other design tool... moving over the lines showed the "thickness" in pixels/cm/inch. Thanks, NBG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff DWright Posted January 17, 2018 Staff Share Posted January 17, 2018 We show the thickness of a line as points so for a 0.7 mm line you will need to make sure that your line thickness in Affinity is at least 1.98 points NBG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff DWright Posted January 17, 2018 Staff Share Posted January 17, 2018 0.7mm is 1.98 and 7mm is 19.8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have probably misunderstood something here but I thought line widths & just about everything else can be set to display in mm, inches, points, etc. Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.4.1 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.8; Affinity Designer 1.108; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
