Affinity Designer Brushes question when exporting

[RobWu]

Hi,

Just a quick question about Designer's brushes, especially the artistic ones like the 'texturing' or 'hand lettering' series.
If I create something, and export the design to e.g. PDF, the result of the brushes is much more low-res that the original. It looks very pixelated at the edges.
Isn't the brush a vector file, or does this not convert into PDF?

I also imported stuff into Illustrator, but it's the same there.
I cannot send something out for print like this.

Any tips on this?

thanks!

Hi RobWu,
Designer's brushes are also able to use raster based textures and stretch or repeat them along a path. The categories you mentioned do use raster based textures thus the low-resolution look compared to pure vector brushes. The better the resolution of the images/sources used for the brushes the better the output/quality of the exported versions.

Ah, I see. So i have to find similar brushes, but in vector format to achieve this.

It's a bit of a bummer though, as one cannot use these for print then....

How can you see it's a vector or pixelbased brush?

cheers!
