Totally agree, I work with Printed Cards for board games and FIGMA is perfect for it.

I Love figma. Wishing to add CMYK for this Christmas 🙂

CMYK conversions from RGB can be quite “muddy.” I’d love this feature, IF Figma bundled conversion ramps in with a feature, offering “preview” choices before the conversion is executed—but I fear Adobe may have that stuff patented.

I would recommended to leave everything in RGB and convert to CMYK while printing, using printing drivers or whatever app is responsible. See long explanation below.

For a start let me clarify that Figma does not technically support color management. It is always sRGB for web, sRGB or Unmanaged on macOS. Latter is just whatever system decides, but likely your default display profile is used.

sRGB is considerably more limited in gamut compared to CMYK. You are trying to convert from something with limited number of colors to something that potentially displays significantly more of them but not all (sic). And so there are multiple legitimate options doing so, but many will be not best. Likely the worst unless… Unless you know the exact profile of printer you are going to print with.

That’s what color management is typically is. When you work in publishing you work with display that is specifically calibrated for its room. Using this profile and original file color profile system shows you best approximation of what you are going to get in print from your printer. Well, that’s ideal case.

Without proper color management it is the best to leave conversion from RGB to CMYK to printer itself. If you sending it to professional printing house, let them do it. For example professional photo printers actually have more than four colors. Beside Cyan, Yellow, Magenta, blacK they can have few grays, light yellow and light cyan at their disposal. Whatever conversion to CMYK you use it would end up duller then what printer itself will calculate.

Bro also need Inches Option

This would be nice

Figma is an amazing design tool. Would be great to add the ability to use it for print, as well as screen design.

I know color spaces are probably so complicated but it’d be SO wonderful to be able to use Figma for print pieces, especially when making templates for clients!

Bumping this for the year 2022

And mm would be good

Still waiting on this feature.

Still waiting for this

It can be done using the TinyImage Compressor plugin, as explained in this video.

I want this so badly!

This would be helpful to convert digital templates to ready to print files for clients

Hi everyone !

I’m designing flyer and posters that I want to print. I think it would be great to be able to display the color in CMYK mode to get a high-fidelity rendering of what will be printed. For now I’m obliged to switch back to Illustrator to do so 😦

Tell me what you think !

Also badly want this. Designing labels in Figma is so much easier than Adobe Illustrator - the only thing missing is the CMYK export. Yes it’s possible with 3rd party plugins but it’s cumbersome and costs almost as much as an AI license.

Also waiting for this feature. Going back & forth to InDesign isn’t fun. I’d like to only use Figma for printing, but that’s not possible yet.

waiting for this feature

There was another ‘idea’ called ‘CMYK color support’ which was closed in order to be merged into this one, but which actually better covered my use case (this one doesn’t quite cover it). Simple CMYK export does not suffice for a viable print design workflow. My base-case, and I imagine most others’ here, is CMYK color palette + spot color support with print-specific export options (trim, bleed, separations). This would enable me to use all the Figma goodness such as libraries & variables, responsive design feature set and collaborative workflows across all domains (i.e. web and print) and ditch the round trips to Adobe and back.

Can’t wait for this to be built. Would certainly improve and enhance a lot of my workflows and allow me to do more for clients in Figma.

This would be great so I don’t have to worry about exporting as RGB to get some saas brochures printed out.

We are seeking your support for a crucial idea that will benefit our entire community. We need to implement an advanced export manager in Figma to have better control over image downloads. This will ensure that downloads meet the required quality standards and specifications.

Your vote is essential to make this vital functionality a reality. Join us and vote for this idea in Figma’s feedback forum - together we can significantly improve our user experience and optimize our workflows!

Does this plugin can help?

@coodersio thanks so much!
