Good morning everyone!
I discovered figma in 2022 when taking a course on UI/UX design for the web — and I instantly fell in love with it.
Since then, I’ve been using it for everything, including print design — flyers, business cards, signage, packaging... you name it. It is a wonderful tool and more than enough to produce professional renders.
I’m only missing the ability to export PDFs with advanced print specs like:
-
Overprint settings
-
ICC profile embedding (like ISO Coated v2 300%)
-
CMYK color management
-
Bleed and margin controls
-
Spot colors / named channels (e.g., for varnish or Pantone inks)
I usually work around using third-party plugins — but it’s not ideal.
Anyone else here using Figma for print work? How are you handling these limitations? Do you use plugins like TinyImage or Pitchdeck? Or do you jump to InDesign/Illustrator at the last step?
Would love to hear your workflows — and maybe raise awareness for better native print export options in Figma
