100k Black / True Black When Exporting

[ajihaew]

Noticed an issue where whenever I tried exporting my file with 100k black text (set to 0/0/0/100) it would convert automatically into true black afterwards. I checked if it was because of changing profiles when exporting, and I've kept it as the generic CMYK during creation and when exporting. This is really inconvenient when printing, and all the workarounds are very roundabout. Hoping in the future Affinity Publisher just won't decide to convert the text and keep it as CMYK.

Try this. In Document Setup choose Assign to desired profile instead Convert. Export as PDF X/1a or PDF/X3. This should preserve just 100% Black text colour.
