Printing to CMYK separations does not work



  • I earlier posted a report related to CMYK separation printing not honoring ink selection, but I now noticed that it actually cannot make separations at all. All plates basically just reproduce a copy of the composite.

    If you choose PDF as destination, you can easily see that the resulting ink files are all identical composite images. If output to PS files, each file is an identical monochrome version of the composite with no separation.

    In addition: if custom line screen is chosen (e.g. PDF Line and 30 lpi), the setting cannot be reset back to "Default" (that is, to change the setting, you need to select a specific halftone pattern). It would be convenient if the settings for all inks could be reset with one button.

    @Arde I added this to the backlog as a bug.

    @Arde Fix will be in the next build. This was a regression, basically it was just turned off internally.

    @Arde CMYK color separation and related issues have been fixed in the new build.
