[Printing on colour-separated prostscript]

Hi everyone.

I'm new to Affinity, I'm a sreen-printer and typography consultant, so I'm testing it for a possible switch from Adobe.

But, I think Designes missed a very important feature of Illustrator, a dead-line to choose the switch.

Illustrator can print on a Postscript file using the color separation feature, if I have a CMYK file, I can save a PS and give it to a RIP software or a "distiller" to crate a multipage PDF (C, M, Y, K in separated pages).

I didn't found that in Designer...

I attach a picture of Illustrator print window...

 

Thanks!

Hello,

This is exactly my workflow - in a couple of clicks I can save in PS format, then use a distiller to generate a 4-page PDF (C,M,Y,K each separated on these pages). This is the only major reason that's stopping me from making the switch from Adobe.

Also "...Affinity products assume that any printer wants RGB data..." doesn't make sense for printing. This is so sad.
