RobNagel Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Hi, does Affinity allow for: 1. Overprint - I need to overprint certain colours for final print output. 2. Overprint Preview 3. Separations Preview - this is vital in seeing the final output of colours prior to going to print (other than printing physical seps). 4. Spot Colours - In the interim, does Affinity support spot colours - even if its not Pantone Book colours, I then can name it a pantone for the printers reference. Quote
Staff MEB Posted June 17, 2015 Staff Posted June 17, 2015 Hi RobNagel, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Most of professional printing features were not implemented yet. They are already listed on our roadmap and will be made available later as free updates for Affinity Designer users. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
RobNagel Posted June 17, 2015 Author Posted June 17, 2015 MEB, thank you, for both the welcome and the update on things to come. I might just purchase Affinity based on those points been earmarked for inclusion. Quote
lik3h3ll Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I've done a few pieces in AD now and really want to use them as the finished pieces for print but not sure how the printing houses will go for spot colours, metallics and high build/clear varnish etc. Any tips, suggestions or case studies of AD being used in pro-print situations? I'm using a 27" 5K Imac and with the problems Adobe are having with the GPU on 5K the contrast between AD & AI is day and night, Illustrator feels bloated and sluggish compared to the zippy newcomer!

vonBusing Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Now that spot colors are in the beta, overprint should be around the corner, shouldn't it? NADecal 1 Quote
JohaWeber Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Any updates on an overprint preview? Didn't manage to locate a menue item or button to push in Affinity Designer yet... Quote
