JMBDesign1234567890 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 When I design a logo in Affinity Designer then export it as a svg or eps for the client the Pantone spot colours I used convert to cmyk mixes. I need them to maintain Pantones for printing purposes. How do I do this? Nothing I have tried as far as export settings had worked. Thanks.

BofG Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I don't think Affinity supports spot colours within EPS files. For SVG, I don't think that supports spot colours at all. It won't even be CMYK, it's fixed to sRGB. Could you use a PDF instead? Spot colours are supported for that format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMBDesign1234567890 Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 Well that's frustrating. Hopefully they update that soon. Thanks, I just thought there was something I was doing wrong! I'll be sure to export as pdf for any print material using this logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not count on that, as PDF is the far better option in comparison to EPS.
