Lagging Pen strokes

vector brush tool? dont have AD but drawing big vectors with a brush sounds like something i wouldnt expect any realtime performance from. do you have other software which can do this? -

what exactly is the question or problem? you should use the color profile that matches the printing process. contact your printer not the people who make standardized profiles. default color spaces in program settings are completely irrelevant. edit: ok i get it now. if the printing press wont tell you what profile to use, look for another printer. if they dont have a color management workflow they simply refuse to take any responsibility for quality.

Text rasterize when printing
leechi replied to Nieck's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
possible that when directly printing from publisher he uses a pixel version he cached for displaying the font and not using the actual font. just write PDFs mane, its the proper workflow and seems to work no? -

my money is on lagarto or your printing cartridge runs out of ink. -
Converting image color spaces
leechi replied to AFY7's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
yea absolutely makes sense. at the end you write your pdf without any conversion and have full control. friendly reminder normed processes like iso coated v2 have separate greyscale .icc profile you can use. -

time for some basics my dudes. RGB and CMYK are inherently different as RGB is literally a screen that emits light while print CMYK absorbs light on paper. (as emulated by your software in the screenshots provided in the opening post). hence your "super shiny" RGB colors will all vanish and that sometimes can completely destroy images in the process the pros about keeping your workflow in RGB as long as possible is that your files are not tied to any output processes. lets say you keep everything in RGB, at the end you can convert it into an output medium color space of any choice in one step. the cons are that your conversion from RGB to CMYK become uncontrollable. if you send RGB files to a printer you have no control over the end result and the printer wont give two fucks if a picture loses lots of details in the conversion. if you convert everything yourself by hand you can see the effects from going from RGB to CMYK (as in your opening post) and adjust accordingly. the cons is that you work towards one very specific output medium. see the attached LAB plots. the sRGB space (white) compared to CMYK ISOcoated v2. (colored) CMYK is much much smaller than sRGB but sRGB cant achieve certain blueish tones. second screenshot is Adobe RGB instead of sRGB. you can see that in a adobe RGB workflow, you will achieve better results in print. no printer can output 16bit colors. so the question shouldnt be "8 or 16bit?" it should be "oh shit am i using sRGB? did i F**k up already?" if you print it on office printers tho none of this matters.

Affinity features - why?
leechi replied to Eddy-2's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
good job shilling a website for clicks while making no sense whatsoever. -
achso dachte du gibst uns deine PDF. also beim PDF dialog behebst du deine Probleme (Einzelseiten, fehlende Bilder) nicht. mal angenommen du hast dein chaos aufgeräumt sieht der neuere PDF dialog schon besser aus. die druckerei fordert entweder sRGB an, welches sie in ISOcoated v2 umwandeln oder direkt ISOcoated v2. du hast jetzt den PDFx4 standard ausgewählt. ich geh davon aus dein dokument ist komplett in sRGB aufgebaut, und nur sRGB? ansonsten schreib lieber eine PDFx1a in ISOcoated V2 das ist idiotensicherer. no offense. benutz ich selber.
