David Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm creating some signage today and would like to make these in Designer, however I cant figure out how to make my cutter guides/shapes and fold lines as a spot colour, so the printer can see its not CYMK for production. Generally I make these in illustrator and mark the layer **Do Not Print** for the printers attention. So my question is can spot colour be done in Designer at the moment?

Staff DWright Posted January 21, 2016 Staff Share Posted January 21, 2016 Hi David, Since build 1.4 you can add a Global Colour to the document palette and asking this as a Spot Colour, this video shows how to do this.

Chris_K Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Hi David We do have spot colours in Designer. you can create a spot colour by switching to the swatches tab and expanding the menu in the top right of the tab. From there click Add Global Colour. This will bring up a colour selector which will have to option to make it a spot colour. hope that is what you are looking for Cheers David 1 Quote Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Ah I could kiss you both! Obviously I need to stop drawing rocket ships and monsters and nail theses things. Thanks Both saved me trip back to the dark side today. I was looking for a check field when clicking the slider colour wheel options to convert existing colours to a spot or indeed global. possible a nice usability option to add?

Never stop drawing rocket ships and monsters I say!! :D But yeah I like the sound of at least being able to add global colours from the Colour Chooser. I'll pass it on David 1 Quote Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
