![]() Visual fidelity is more or less maintained, but it depends heavily on the complexity of the original InDesign document. Images crossing the fold are kept intact as singular objects.Īnchored objects are maintained (with some caveats due to Scribus' method of anchored objects). Tables are maintained (see caveats below). Layer structure is maintained across the entire file. Paragraph and character styles are maintained. Master pages are maintained (the name of each master page is not). This means a text edit in an article will not adjust the text flow across all pages for any given threaded article or story. Master pages are lost, and have to be recreated: an impossible task for more complex jobs, like magazines. This means it is almost impossible to adjust a crop, for example. Images running over page folds in a spread are cut into separate elements. Tables are lost and converted to graphical objects consisting of hundreds, if not thousands of elements for more complex tables. Paragraph and character styles are lost, which makes it impossible to quickly adjust text formatting for complex documents, and even for simple documents such as flyers the user will have to manually recreate all the paragraph and character styles. Layers are a complete mess, completely unstructured. ![]() This leads to almost unmanageable layer situations (try importing a PDF with a table). Original source file's layer structure is not maintained. Keeps the exact (99%) of visual fidelity, including visual effects. I am comparing Affinity Publisher with the (free) open source DTP software Scribus, which indeed DOES import InDesign IDML files. I simply opted out of their e-mail alerts program.įor anyone doubting the usefulness of IDML import versus PDF import, let's create a list of advantages and drawbacks. But it's in line with many professional apps, including those from Adobe. The fact that you have to create an account to register the product before you can unlock it bothers some people. Though this is off topic in a Publisher forum, it seems tangentially relevant. Which, surprise, totals the same as Affinity Photo, at $50. The catalog function in Lightroom does not seem to slow that app down much it saves thumbnails so you can view things easily.ĪCDSee is on sale again at $34.95, though that appears to be for the old version, 3.7.2, the demo download. Then there's upgrade pricing at $24.95 for version 4. Long ago Bridge was part of Photoshop but it slowed down the app so much that Adobe turned it into a separate unit. ACDSee appears to be much like Adobe bridge with editing tools. Though Lightroom started on the Mac, it, and, I presume, ACDSee work the same on Windows as they do on the Mac. Actually, I only use the cataloguing function of ACDSee not photo-editing (I didn't use Lightroom's editing either). Set to “No” for better quality print (in some cases).Ah, sorry but I'm in the majority Windows world (and before that it was CP/M, TRSDOS and finally QDOS/MS-DOS in those far-off days before the Xerox Alto introduced the idea of a mouse-driven GUI in the '70s). Requires an alignment print after every cartridge change. If the ink is not drying fast enough or is bleeding, you can de- crease the Ink Saturation to lessen the amount of ink that is applied to the label. The default setting is 100%, which will provide the most accurate color matching. This option controls the amount of ink used when printing an image. For this reason, when printing the same image to different types of labels with different surfaces the printed output can look entirely different. ![]() The surface of the label reacts with the ink in the cartridge to produce the color. Note: Exact color matching of the printed labels to the screen may never be possible since there are fac- tors that affect this out of the drivers control. Skin tones especial- ly will look more natural in this mode. ![]() Images printed in this mode will look lighter than those printed in Photo mode. However, printing images of people may produce skin tones that have a reddish tint.īest for Photos mode is best used for photographic images where accurate color reproduction is very es- sential. Images printed in this mode will look more vibrant because more ink is being used to produce them. It is recommended that you experiment with the different levels when designing your label to find a good balance between print quality and print speed.īest for Graphics mode is best used for graphical images where accurate color reproduction is not as essen- tial. Quality 1 provides the fastest print available while Quality 4 provides the best quality. The lower the Quality, the faster the print. There are 4 levels of print quality in the driver. ![]()
