Beginners' Questions Problems with Exporting PNG

    I'm having issues with exporting png files.  I have 4 separate documents I have created all documents are set to a size of 60 in x 36 in. I have exported all as PNG with 300 DPI which is what is recommended where I am sending them to be printed (fabric printing). 2 of the documents have exported perfectly.  The other two are missing elements.  I have reduced the DPI to 150 and get the elements to export but it changes the image size in pixels to lower than the others which I need the image to be at 60 in wide x 36 in height pre scaled for a yard of fabric.  The two documents that exported perfectly at 300 dpi have more elements to them than the ones I'm having issues with? Can any one help me with resolving this issue? Ive attached screen grabs of how they are exporting compared to how they are in Inkscape

    1st is how it exported

    2nd is how it is in inkscape

    3rd is one that exported perferct at 300 dpi

    I'd reboot the computer and try just the ones that previously failed.

    In the meantime, please:

    1. Describe your OS (your computer's Operating System: Mac/Windows/Linux/etc. & version).
    2. Describe the version of Inkscape and the installer you used (the file you downloaded from the website: .msi/.exe/.zip/other )
    3. Describe any special hardware being used, like tablet/stylus or multiple monitors.

    Bonus points, if you:

    • Attach an example SVG file that has the issue.

    1. Windows 10

    2. Version 1.2 .exe

    3. no special hardware being used 

    I was able to start a new document and just began all over again and one exported perfect. A second one I started from scratch as well and it exported with white stripes through the middle of one of the elements.  Those stripes were not something that were able to be deleted.  I moved things around to different places on the document and tried to export again and it worked perfectly 🤷🏼
