WendyM Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Hi, When I save a design (in any format) and then print I've noticed that the font is not crisp. I've tried changing it to curves but this doesn't seem to work either. Any ideas for how to make it crisper would be greatly appreciated.

PixelPest Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 What color/mode is your font and what kind of printer are you talking of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WendyM Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 Hi, I always create and save at 300DPI. I use an Epson Workforce 7610 which works perfectly for my other elements (i.e. png files of my art or other elements). Not sure what you mean about color/mode and the text is just coloured within Affinity Designer usually with a darker border as I find this helps with the definition.

PixelPest Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I for instance need black&white imagery for my stamp making process. I´m printing on a 1200dpi monochrome laser. I tend to forget to use only either K=100 or RGB=0,0,0. So just the slightest amount of CYM will rasterise and graphic elements get unsharp borders. Not sure how this relates to ink printer which I don´t use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WendyM Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 Hi, Thanks for all of this advice I do always save my work as a jpeg or png. I will have a play with what you've suggested and see how it works out. Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
