Printery adds the production export controls Figma is missing for real print work: CMYK PDF export with RGB→CMYK mapping, ICC profile embedding (e.g., ISO Coated v2, FOGRA39), Pantone spot colors and overprint support, bleed & crop marks, DPI control, and multi-page PDF export.

Question 4

How to export CMYK PDF from Figma?

Accepted Answer

Install Printery, select the frames/pages you want to export, then: 1) Choose Color mode: CMYK, 2) Pick an ICC profile your print shop uses (e.g., ISO Coated v2), 3) Set DPI (300 DPI is standard for commercial printing), 4) Enable bleed & crop marks, 5) Export your print-ready PDF.

Question 5

Can I use Figma for print design?

Accepted Answer

Yes—Figma works well for print design when you add the right export controls. Printery helps you handle the print-production requirements (CMYK/ICC, bleed, crop marks, DPI) so your files are ready for real printers—not just screens.

Question 6

Do I still need InDesign for print design?

Accepted Answer

For many projects, you may not—brochures, flyers, posters, packaging, and marketing materials can often be produced directly from Figma with Printery. InDesign is still a better fit for long-form documents (books, complex magazines) or highly specialized typography workflows. Use the tool that matches your project.

Question 7

What ICC profile should I use?

Accepted Answer

Most print shops can tell you which profile they prefer. Common choices include ISO Coated v2 (EU) and SWOP (US). If you're unsure, ask your printer first—then match it in Printery for consistent output.

Question 8

What DPI should I use for printing from Figma?

Accepted Answer

For commercial printing, 300 DPI is the standard for photos and raster artwork. Use lower DPI (150/72) only for drafts or when file size matters more than quality.
