Error: Line thickness less than 0.25pts

Your Launch Lab Preflight Report PDF has returned the following warning:

What is the problem?

The lines in your document are too thin and may not print well, either coming out patchy or vanishing altogether.

This information applies to vector lines created in programs like Adobe InDesign or Illustrator. It doesn't apply to raster artwork imported from Photoshop or similar. However, it is useful to remember that, in general, the smaller and more detailed the lines in an image are, the more difficult it will be to print them clearly.

How do I fix it?

Check the width of individual lines in your document using the Stroke panel.

Adobe Illustrator and InDesign

  • Click Window > Stroke to access the Stroke panel.
  • Select any line to see its width in the Stroke panel.
  • Use the numerical input or slider in the Stroke panel to adjust line width.

Affinity Publisher and Designer

  • Click View > Studio > Stroke to access the Stroke panel.
  • Select any line to see its width in the Stroke panel
  • Use the numerical input or slider in the Stroke panel to increase line width.
