Exporting PNG to Exact Artboard - size for print

[Jory320909742ca1]

Hi..

Maybe I'm an idiot or just lost. I'm sure my old Adobe 6 I didn't have this issue.

So I set the artboard at an exact size for print (in this case 80mm x 90mm label)

Exporting at 300dpi using the checked artboard 

Image is coming out full size (almost letter paper 8.5x11 when I test print)

Is there a better way to get this to be exact  - seems like it should 

Any help greatly appreciated

Have you checked your print settings? Something like print to scale or such (too many different printers to know what yours might say). You could also export a pdf and print from there, it is a more reliable way to print.

We found the PNG (test print) at the printer looked way better color wise tha tthe PDF which seemed to darken everything  - usually PDF is good I agree. 

even when i open on the desktop It's giant - never used to have this issue before it seems doing biz cards

You can export the artboard using Export for screens and set the Scale > Resolution to 300 ppi.

Thanks Tom - the 300 looks great but its coming out large. the 1x looks like correct size but only 120k.

Do I have the settings messed?

[Ton Frederiks]

If I do it this way, it comes out at the correct size and resolution.

Thanks for the screenshot - mine is still enlarging...the artboart is 80mm x 90 mm

the 300ppi is coming out a 945 px X 1063 - tripling it bascially

[Ton Frederiks]

To get that size at that resolution, you need more pixels into that space.

So it is correct.

Gotcha...any tricks for small images at high res?

[Jory320909742ca1]

Its perfect - thanks Ton and excuse my confusion

Good to hear that helped.
