felixbmurray Posted June 7, 2023 Posted June 7, 2023 I need to use the Roland Versaworks Spot Colours for a print project I'm doing, but Affinity Designer is not officially supported (they only provide swatch files for Illustrator and CorelDRAW). However, Spot Colours are supported in Affinity Designer and this leads me to believe I may be able to set up the file correctly. However, since I don't use Adobe software, I can't get into the Illustrator file to extract the spot colours and bring them into Designer (I'm assuming this is all that would be necessary!). Is there a way this can be done? Will the colours transfer over correctly? Could someone with both programs help me out? I've attached the RolandVersaWorks.ai file, and I think I'd need the pallette in .ase format for the import to work. Any help or advice is much appreciated! RolandVersaWorks.ai
felixbmurray Posted June 8, 2023 Author Posted June 8, 2023 Thanks for your help and the quick response - this is really useful! Just so I understand, will the spot colours as they appear in Affinity be exactly the same as they are in Illustrator? I know that's kind of the purpose of spot colours, but I wanted to check that they won't have changed somehow during the export/import process. The printer won't recognise anything other than those exact spot colours, which it uses as a proxy for primer and gloss layers (etc). Thanks again.
