Anyone using Figma for prints ?

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 🙏

    You can try the Print Layout plugin https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1419316259939080556/print-layout-cmyk-exporting-rgb-to-cmyk-mapping-bleed-crop-marks-300-dpi , it's like a mini InDesign. Here are some video guides

    Just to add: the “Printify | Print for Figma” plugin also supports:

    • CMYK color management
    • ICC profile embedding (ISO Coated v2, FOGRA39, etc.)
    • spot colors/Pantone channels /Overprint.

    That means you don’t lose color accuracy when preparing files for professional printers.

    For basic print layouts like flyers and posters, I also utilize Figma. I often export the design and finish it in Illustrator for complex print specifications like CMYK or bleed.

    I began learning more about that ecosystem because a lot of design teams also work with Microsoft products like Teams and SharePoint. This page was helpful to me when looking through several Microsoft certification dumps resources:
