BUG - Wrong Stroke Sizes when printing from Affinity Designer 1.7.3.481


Molumen

Recommended Posts

Affinity Designer 1.7.3.481

Bug is reproducible (printed this document on 2 different printers with same results)

The document was created from scratch (basically it's a new document)

Sample document is attached. Photo of the result is attached too.

Operating system is Windows 10 (with all latest updates at the time of writing this)

What happens:
- I created a new document, it's a 2-page template for a small bi-fold wallet
- All Strokes are 2pt thick, all Dashed Strokes are 1.5pt thick
- When I print the document from Affinity Designer, all but 2 objects are printed with a very thin line, including dashed strokes.

The printers that I used to print this are:
- Oki SP 111
- HP Color LaserJet Enterprise flow M880z
Both printers ended up with the same results

Looks like the information about stroke thickness gets lost when Affinity Designer sends info to the printer.

We have made fixes/improvements to Windows printing in the latest customer beta. Sorry this issue has taken so long to get resolved properly. If you would like to try these changes the beta software is available in the forum posts listed below.

The latest beta builds are downloadable from links at the top of each of these beta forum posts.

These betas install parallel, next to the release version (they do not overwrite your release) and so the fixes can be tried in the beta without affecting your normal workflow in the release version.

Once these programs have been through a full beta process the change will be released in a future free 1.8.0 update/patch to all customers.
