Multiply mode should give you the same visual indication and pdf result, too.

Yes, you are correct.
The only difference that I saw was the monitor difference that is visually only.

On Acrobat Pro, using Fogra 39, on monitor should little bit darker on Multiply mode.

I found out a single but could be a hard (difficult) way that can help packaging designers.
You can select the object and setup it manually the stroke width, color desire and finally on apparency tab put it as Darken mode. At this moment you can have a preview of your "overprints" and save your job as PDF/X4 to send it to your preferred print provider.

You just need to take care to correctly put the objects in the correct order to don't make mistakes on the print result.

Remember to put light colors bellow the dark colors.

The result on Acrobat Pro.

Unfortunately, in Brazil, almost solutions are based on Windows PC including mine.

It's only a windows issue since I know. I don't know about Macs.

You can select and unselect "Overprint" from the context menu, as long as it's a global color.
(Or is it a Win only issue? Works on Mac.)

That said… +1,000,000 for object overprinting!

Folks,

I'll try your suggestions Hangman and I'll keep you posted about the results.

Woefi I agree with you, and I add a suggestion that leave us too setup overprint by objects not only by colors.

[Overprint missing features @ Affinity Design]

Hi folks!

I'm a packaging designer and I use a lot by the competitor to make me designes.
Since 2019, I started to work with Affinity solutions including Affinity Designer, but I miss the overprint features on it. I know that I can setup overprint features on spot colors, but it only for spot colors. Because when I design packaging, sometimes I need to setup overprint on color on stroke but can't put overprint on the fill (knockout) on same object that it uses same color. The competitor uses this feature for spot or process (CMYK) colors.  I tried to use "daken" mode applied on appearance tool just on stroke, but it didn't run well.
Another feature that I miss is the preview mode where I can see the overprints on screen.

[CMYK wrong values on color picker]

[[AD 1.7.0.367] Add Global Color dialog color picker only works in RGB]

When we'll planned a new version that fix this problem? 

[CMYK wrong values on color picker]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to create CMYK colors with correct colors number (0% to 100%). Unfortunately the color picker give me only RGB values (0 to 255) on CMYK tab.

Could I can fix this problem? Because its very difficult create color documents unknowing the color results.

Its happen with any document that I create with CMYK color space, using the old ICC for Fogra 39 (coated paper).

My Affinity Designer is 1.7.3.481.
