sportyguy209 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Hello: Designer keeps crashing when I try to print the attached file, even after a restart. I am able to create a pdf and print that, just can't print this file from Designer. I'm using Designer 1.7.2 and MacOS 10.14.6 on a MacBook Pro with 16 gb of memory. Other files print fine.

firstdefence Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I think it relates to the embedded t-shirt image, if you remove it the flag and lettering show. Also if you rasterise the T-Shirt it will Print sportyguy209 1 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

Staff DWright Posted August 27, 2019 Staff Share Posted August 27, 2019 Can you also check that your embedded image is using the same colour profile as the rest of your document. sportyguy209 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportyguy209 Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 Hello DWright: That must have been it. The embedded image was rgb and the document was cmyk. When I updated the document to RGB, it didn't crash when I tried to print. Still, I don't think this is the most graceful result from such a thing. :-) Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDog Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Hi, I am experiencing the same issue with Designer crashing every time I try to print. I have rasterised everything in the document but it is still not working. Can you suggest what else I can try? I am relatively new to Designer am and just getting used to the menus/terminology/functionality so any detail you can give would be gratefully received! Thank you!

DasBilligeAlien Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I can crash Designer 1.9.0.932 reliable when trying to print a fille that has a bunch of svgs embedded. (I think they are embedded.) Hillariously it only crashes the artboard where the embeds are increased in size by the factor 1.2 (but all embedded svgs were first scaled down - even the ones that print, so ???) I am on win10. zantora_starterfleet_a4.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayton King Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I have the exact problem with this file. No clue what could be causing it. With the file open, nothing selected, viewing all artboard, pressing CTRL-P (or choosing Print from the File menu) immediately closes Designer.

Clayton King Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 OK, just went through the file piece by piece. There were a couple of things I noticed when deleting different artboards. One of the artboards contained Windows EMF (metafiles). They imported as a group of 1 object. When I ungrouped them all, the file seemed to work... I think this is a bug, though...

DasBilligeAlien Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 So, i fiddled around with my file for a bit: - Deleted everything on the board - crash on ctrl -p - Changed the name iof the board . crash on ctrl -p - Deleted the board and copied the working artboard - crash on ctrl -p - Created a new artboard with the artboard tool - crash on ctrl-p - created a new document and can print the first artboard. created another artboard - crash on ctrl-p - created a new document and can print the first artboard. created two more artboards. tried to print the third artboard - crash on ctrl-p so far even in a completly new document or any document at all. I can only print the first artboard. Could it be that its related to my system? 48 minutes ago, Clayton King said: Windows EMF (metafiles) How can i find out if I put an EMF in my artboard?

Clayton King Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Look in your layers palette for groups. EMFs get placed inside a one-object group. DasBilligeAlien 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R a y Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) Hello, I have a similar problem - Every time I try to print with Affinity Designer 2, Publisher 2 or Photo 2 it crashes. (Version 2.0.3) I use a MacBook Pro with M2 chip. The error occured the first time when I tried to print some Artboards of a Project with 10 (or so) different Artboards. I was able to print the first 2 Artboards. Since then it crashes as well if I try to Print a new empty file. As soon I press command+P there is no response and I can see in the ressource-monitor that the program-storage increases immensly. After a while there comes a system-pop-up which sais that there is not enough system ressources available (Affinity uses more than 45GB). The File has about 35 MB. My hard-drive has enough available space (> 350 GB). I tried to: - restart Computer - unistall and reinstall Designer - unistall, deleting the user settings folder, reinstall all Affinity products - uninstall all affinity products and reinstall them with the AppStore - uninstall all affinity products, update system to the newest version, reinstall all products but nothing helped. Does anyone has an Idea how I could print my files again? Ohne Titel.afdesign Edited January 15, 2023 by R a y Added Version number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
