Description: As a designer with many years of experience, I do almost all of my design work in Figma, including print and packaging projects. However, working with print layouts in Figma currently faces two major bottlenecks: Pixels-only constraint: The lack of physical units (mm, cm, inches) and DPI settings forces us to constantly calculate and convert print dimensions (like 300 DPI) into pixels manually. No CMYK color profile support: Because of this, we still have to switch to Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator for final print preparation. Proposal: If Figma added support for physical dimensions and CMYK color spaces, it would eliminate these workflow gaps and become the ultimate all-in-one tool for both digital and print design.
