It will take me a bit of time to get use to the new icon, but my first reaction was that it seems washed out and not as vibrant as the last icon. But what I don't see myself getting use to is the lack lustre splash screen that doesn't talk "creativity" to me, sorry!... I'm hopping it is something temporary! Still keeping my fingers-crossed for a colour separation panel (allowing us to check our work before we move it to the printhouse) before launch. Other then that keep up the really great work!

Hi Chris_K Thanks for helping out! So you are saying for now I can make any spot colour assign it to the text over a coloured region (like my file above) and it will act as an "overprint" and not knockout when viewed in plate separation mode before it goes onto the press? Thanks.

Yes sure Patrick Please find the .afpub file attached and then also screenshots of the exporting of the file as pre-press ready pdf file. Thanks. dlBrochure_RetereWell.afpub

Hi Affinity Team This is a follow up from what I mentioned above... I have set the global colour to 80% black and ticked "overprint", but when I few my press-ready artwork in Acrobat Distiller and turn off the Black (Separations) it is knocking it out from the background colour instead of the assigned "overprint" it should be doing so the background colour is preserved! This is a biggie so please please please don't forget about it! The "overprint" is not working! Thanks.

Hi Affinity Team This is a mammoth task but a great start with Affinity Publisher! I'm constantly moving pre-press artwork across to my preferred printer and I'm asking them to give me feedback and review with the pre-press ready PDF files I'm sending them and the major issues that they are reporting is... - issues around knockout and overprint... this is not really that straight forward for now plus not clear in how this can be picked up before exporting the artwork? - and when they need to impose the job and they use InDesign for that, hence the following comment..." I'm also getting some weirdness when placing the file into indesign for when we impose the job" Other then that keep up the great work! Thanks.

A great start! Would love to see the option to relative link the margin so you only enter the value in once in the container and the rest follow! Also importantly we need to be able to set the bleed - really important! We also need to have a more varied Preview - similarly along the lines of InDesign! At the moment I can't find any?
