Ralf_Maeder Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I have a few question for those Designer artists who have to deal with prepress and printshops. How do you prepare your artfiles in order to minimize problems with the printshop? I ask because with Affinity Designer I don't see any possibility to preview color separations and I especially miss spot color separations? What workflow do you use or recommend assuming that we don't use any Adobe or other expensive third party software for this purpose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I personally would not go to press without previewing in either Acrobat or pdfToolbox. I know, 3rd-party applications. Sorry. Here's the thing. I started in 1989 and have never sent native files to print. Never. And while I do use ID and it does have separation preview, because I don't send native files I still need to check the PDFs. Even when I have used ID's separation preview it has been to check a file someone had issues with on the InDesign forum with that function. I suppose it is possible that one day Serif will add this function into at least APub and when they do so it might make its way into the other applications (or at least AD).
