Hi everyone... i discover this program not to days ago and I'm very impressed. I thought I'll give it a chance in my screen printing department since we're using coreldraw 5 there (I know it's old). However I found some questions that even google couldn't answer. Perhaps you guys could help. here is the list.
- Can spot colors be defined?
Maybe this is a dumb question on my part but what are 'spot colors'?
- Can I mess with text? (curve it, distort it?)
Stay tuned, you've got excellent timing on this one - Fred has been adding some new 'messing with text' capabilities (text in a shape, text on a curve), and Bulia's mentioned he's going to try to do some rework of the text stuff. This is 0.40 stuff, though, so unless you're using the nightly builds it will be a couple months before it's officially available.
In 0.39 and previous versions, you can do some stuff with text like rotating/skewing it, kerning, and converting it to nodes. Check the tutorials for more info.
- At this point is the software able to print color separations with screen
frequency and angle?
We generally point people to Scribus for printing capabilities. The Scribus folks have put a lot of work into ensuring Inkscape-generated SVG can be imported cleanly.
I had a ton more but I can't seem to remember. I appreciate any help.
Sure, hope this helps.
