i have been using Figma as a replacement for indesign and illustrator.
after solving so many problems i realized that a few simple features would make Figma into a super app for print production. i made 8 comics books, and a few catalouges.

1. enable change to 288 DPI instead of constant 72 DPi so that font sizes would match the acctual print size without changing anything on the working board. i meen only change the numbers on the information bars.
2. connect text boxes so that overflow text flows from one text box to the other.
3. all pages has same size mabee a frame size template that is related to the pages, that when you change it you define where and how to change it in related to the content.
4. connect frames so that overflow text flows from one frame to another
5. create indented content so i can use varibles to define chapter name or chapter number or page number. i havent toughted this out yet. but the idea is the create an automated text box that will have the chapter name in it related to where the text box is positined.
6. export pdf of more than one page on Figma

i know this is a lot. mabee it should be a new Figma file all toghther that has the same editor but without the interactive stuff.

We need Figma for Print!

I come from a print background. When I started I was doing everything from publications to catalogs, and posters to OOH. Eventually my dominant work became digital-heavy particularly with presentations and social. But now the winds have changed (or slightly recalibrated) and I’m back to doing print pieces ranging from handout to large poster sizes.

In short, such things as options for resolution variations (i.e. 150dpi, 300, ???), bleed/trim marks, vector exporting, and editable PDF text on the backend. 

This is just single-sided uses. If it was possible for double- or multi-page documents that would be a game-changer! As I mentioned I was trained on PageMaker, QuarkExpress, and Indesign. What Figma has done for the digital community would be revolutionary in the print space. So many teams leverage online file collaboration that it’s an opportunity just waiting to happen.

Hi everyone—adding my voice in full support of this feature request.

I work on projects that move fluidly between digital and print, and the constant hand‑off to InDesign or illustrator just for pre‑press tweaks slows our team down. Native print‑production tools inside Figma would be a game‑changer. In particular, it would help to have:

1. CMYK & ICC Profiles – the ability to set a document‑wide CMYK color mode and assign specific profiles so proofs match press output.

2. Bleed / Slug Controls – define bleed, slug, and safe‑margin settings per frame (or at file level) and retain them in exported PDFs.

3. Advanced PDF Export – choose output resolution (150 dpi, 300 dpi, 600 dpi, etc.), include trim and crop marks, generate PDF/X‑4, and decide whether to outline fonts or keep text live.

4. Multi‑page / Facing‑page Layouts – linked text boxes, automatic page numbers, and master‑page‑style templates for consistent headers, footers, and chapter titles.

Bringing these capabilities into Figma would let us keep a single source of truth for both screen and print deliverables, streamline collaboration, and eliminate a lot of version‑control headaches.

Huge thanks to the Figma team for considering this—and to Shelby5 and others for raising the need!
