    Default png export quality not really convincing DESIGNER PRO X

    Hi,

    first, excuse my english please.

    My problem is, i do not achieve good results exporting to png. I tried to export the word "design" but the edges of some letters are
    very fuzzy - of course mainly letters with round shapes like "e, o". I converted the text to curves and i noticed directly
    after converting a loss of quality. But even without converting text to curves, the export result is not very impressing.
    Are there any recommended settings (size. dpi?), to get better results, than my example ul png?

    Welcome to TalkGraphics

    How do you want to use the image?

    For print, 300dpi is best. For a web page 96dpi. Please tell us how you want to use the image and we will can give you a more specific answer.

    Well it's trciky for any video system to render curves without a little 'fuzz' (anti-aliasing) on curves when working with square pixels. There are no curves on computer displays, so the small/tighter/thinner you get - the more pronounced this fuzziness is bound to show.
    Your graphic looks fine to me at 1:1

    Hi BusterKeaton,

    Welcome to Talkgraphics. I export .pngs from Designer ProX for printing all the time and I have no problems as long as they are exported at 300dpi.

    I really don't see what the issue is. The example image seems fine to me at that resolution.

    Hi Buster, if there is a specific reason for exporting to PNG a 300DPI will give a good enough quality for most print jobs. However if you want a large format print the PDF/X file type will give excellent print quality even at very large output.
    Hope this is of help to you..

    Hi angelize

    I also have had less than great exports in .pngs. I tried again to export but could not see a place where I can select exporting at dpi.

    So, how do I export at 300 dpi? Thanks

    Hi Tabian,

    I tried the PDF/x file type as you suggested, but this doesn't give a graphic file that can be imported into a new file. I thought PDF is pretty much a document type file. How can you take a graphic, that has been saved as a PDF/X file and import it into a new file? Thank you,

    What kind of file are you importing the pdf into? If it's a xar file, you can certainly import pdfs into xar files.

    If you need a bitmap for use in the xar file, you can always select the graphic and make a bitmap copy (Arrange | Create bitmap copy...).

    Thanks for your welcoming and your replies,

    i would like to use the word "design" for web/logo with further editing like colorfill etc.
    (should have told you)
    I exported it with 96dpi. I thought possibly there are one or the other "trick" of getting
    smoother results with the curves.
