c.federle Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 Dear forum, I have an annyoing issue with using artboards in Affinity designer: In pixel mode, as well as in pdf exports, I get a very small, but noticeable white or light-coloured edge on my objects. This is only noticeable in affinity on zooms of 10000% but easily noticeable in pdfs on lower zoom levels (See scrawly annotated attachement). I already tried adjusting the contour, deselecting any effects, as well as playing around with edge or radius options. This for me makes artboards completely useless, as in print outputs (where I normally use them) this issue is fatal. I hope that anyone could suggest any hints! Thank you very much!

c.federle Posted September 18, 2019 Author Posted September 18, 2019 Dimension were based on measurements in mm. I worked around this issue by creating a coloured rectangle of the same given size, no edge appeared. But when filling in the artboard itself, the issue remains.
Pšenda Posted September 18, 2019 Posted September 18, 2019 Why do you fill the artboard? Just set a color. 22 minutes ago, c.federle said: Dimension were based on measurements in mm. For pixel fill this is of course irrelevant, dimensions/positions in pixels are important.

c.federle Posted September 18, 2019 Author Posted September 18, 2019 Yeah sorry, this is what I did, created an artboard, selected and filled it with colour... Ok, I will look into those pixel specifics once at my PC. Thanks for your replies anyways!
Pšenda Posted September 18, 2019 Posted September 18, 2019 There is no need to "fill" the artboard, just "set" his color. Select artboard in Layer panel, and set color in Colour/Swatch panel.
