PRINT SHEET DESIGNER

Spot Color Separation Preview

Map supplied artwork colors to named plates; inspect overprints; export proof layers.

Arrange a complete print sheet

Preparing the worked example

Start with the example, then edit the labelled content, dimensions or geometry. Export includes editable SVG and design evidence. PNG/PDF buttons create raster proofs; projects with binary sources need their original files when reopened.

Using Spot Color Separation Preview

Map supplied artwork colors to named plates; inspect overprints; export proof layers.

Choose Try example to see the complete spot color separation preview workflow. Use the labelled settings for dimensions/style, and the Content panel for the worked example’s JSON structure.
Adjust the nearby controls and content, then update the artwork/template. Undo and redo restore text/settings decisions. Print geometry uses millimeters; verify the supplied dimensions and allowances.
Inspect Design data/Measurements and Review for actual evidence. Multi-page outputs provide a page selector and previous/next buttons.
Export editable SVG, complete ZIP or PNG/PDF proofs. PDF contains rasterized page proofs with physical page sizes; print at actual size and use SVG when you need vectors. Save project keeps input/settings; reselect original image/font files to rebuild binary-source projects.

Example

The tailored example generates 2 design records. Maps explicitly labelled rectangular artwork to named single-ink plates. The colored preview uses browser multiply blending and declared opacity, not spectral ink, CMYK or press color prediction.

Questions & answers

What does Spot Color Separation Preview support?

Maps explicitly labelled rectangular artwork to named single-ink plates. The colored preview uses browser multiply blending and declared opacity, not spectral ink, CMYK or press color prediction.

What input should I use?

Use the labelled settings for dimensions/style, and the Content panel for the worked example’s JSON structure. Load the tailored example to see the supported fields. Edit content or geometry here; settings control the visible artboard. Measurements for print templates are in millimeters.

What can I download?

Export contains the task’s actual SVG files and evidence, a JSON/CSV report and complete ZIP. Where generated, DXF files contain supported line/circle geometry in millimeters. PNG and PDF are browser-rendered raster proofs capped to a 2,200-pixel long edge; multipage PDF retains the declared physical dimensions and supports up to 20 pages.

What should I check before using the result?

Print at actual size, measure a reference and test a small paper/material prototype. Templates do not infer machine settings, material strength or production tolerances. Processing uses your local supplied evidence; nothing is uploaded, sent to a printer or applied to a live system. Public pages retain approved ads and optional consent-based analytics.
