Mark Oehlschlager Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Is there a Preview Panel in any of the Affinity apps that would allow one to check for correct color separation in documents where spot inks have been used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 AFAIK no. foto-grafic 1 Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planetbuck Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Related question, or maybe the same question: When I'm ready to send a document to press, I export to pdf, then I've usually used Acrobat Pro, advanced features, to look at the pdf and see what inks are printing where ... so I can check for wrong overprints, color builds instead of solid blacks, unwanted spot colors, etc. Now that I'm on Mac Catalina and using Affinity, is there any way of doing this within Affinity, without purchasing Acrobat Pro?

v_kyr Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 No Affinity itself to my knowledge doesn't show these things. - On MacOSX the ColorSync tool can load a PDF and show pages via filtered color settings, but I don't know if it is equally accurate as Acrobat Pro here. So somebody from the prepress domain can tell you better if it's trusty or not.
