Printify | Print for Figma
Print for Figma enables export of CMYK PDFs with ICC profiles, bleed, and crop marks for professional printing workflows.
Print for Figma – CMYK PDFs with Bleed & ICC by Printery is a print production tool designed for designers and marketing teams who need to convert digital designs into print-ready files. It offers comprehensive export features that allow users to produce professional CMYK PDFs directly from Figma, addressing the gap between screen design and print production.
What Makes Print for Figma Stand Out
- True CMYK PDF Export: Converts RGB designs to accurate CMYK colors essential for print reproducibility.
- ICC Profile Embedding: Supports embedding industry-standard ICC color profiles (e.g., ISO Coated v2, FOGRA39) to ensure color precision across different print environments.
- Bleed and Crop Marks: Adds bleed (3mm, 5mm, or custom) and crop marks automatically with one click, facilitating print trimming and layout safety.
- Pantone Spot Color Support: Enables spot color usage with density control, critical for brand consistency in packaging and print identity.
- Multi-Page & Batch Export: Allows exporting entire documents, spreads, or multiple frames in batch, streamlining workflows for brochures, catalogs, and manuals.
- DPI Control: Exports at different resolutions up to 300 DPI, suitable for commercial printing or lower DPI for drafts.
Who Should Use Print for Figma
- Graphic Designers: Create brochures, posters, packaging, and marketing materials ready for professional print without leaving Figma.
- Print Shops: Receive PDFs with correct color profiles, bleed, crop marks, and overprint settings, reducing prepress errors.
- Marketing Teams and Agencies: Accelerate production by generating printer-ready files directly, cutting down handoff time between design and print.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Print for Figma?
Print for Figma is a print export plugin that converts digital designs into production-ready CMYK PDFs with embedded ICC profiles and print-specific marks. It is intended to bridge the gap between digital design and physical print workflows.
How does Print for Figma improve color accuracy?
By embedding ICC profiles and enabling RGB-to-CMYK mapping along with Pantone spot colors, it ensures that colors in the exported PDFs match real-world print outputs more reliably than standard RGB-based exports.
What are the limitations of Print for Figma?
While it covers essential print export features, it may not replace full-featured prepress software for highly complex workflows, such as advanced trapping or preflight checks. Its main focus is on streamlining print-ready PDF exports within the Figma environment.
What types of print projects is this tool best suited for?
It works well for brochures, catalogs, flyers, packaging designs, and multi-page documents where accurate color control and print marks are critical. Less suitable for projects requiring extensive print prepress manipulation beyond export.
How does Print for Figma handle multi-page documents?
The plugin supports exporting multiple frames or pages as single multi-page PDFs, including spreads and batch exports, facilitating large print runs and multi-section documents.
