TATruck Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I'm currently testing Affinity with the possibility of switching from Photoshop. I have an Epson SCP600 printer. I tried to print from Affinity and only got a print dialog with virtually no parameters. I assume there must be a way to have Affinity recognize the print driver provided by Epson for my printer, but I have no idea how to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

R C-R Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Which OS do you use, Windows or Mac OS? Also, can we assuming from your mention of Photoshop that you trialing Affinity Photo? There are two Affinity apps, Photo & Designer, so it is always a good idea to say which OS & which app you are using.

TATruck Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 I jumped the gun again now when I show details it only allows me to print a PDF document. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 "PDF" is a pull-down list. What do you get if you click the arrow next to it?

TATruck Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 What you see in the screenshot, the various PDF options are what I get when I click the arrow by "PDF". There doesn't seem to be any way to get an option to print to anything but PDF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickd Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 ignore PDF. Click on actual size if that's what you want, Hit the double headed arrow by scaling and art boards, go to color matching, colorsync and pick your paper profile and click on print. Should be good to go. If you want more options, go to print settings on the double headed arrow.High speed, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TATruck Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Thanks Rick! That's got it. Seems like a convoluted, non-intuitive, misleading way of getting there but it gets me where I want. Much thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
