Printery - Print for Figma

Printery is a Figma plugin that exports print-ready PDFs with CMYK conversion, ICC profiles, bleed, crop marks, and DPI control directly from the design environment.

What is Printery?

Printery is a Figma plugin that turns designs into press-ready PDFs without rebuilding files in InDesign or other prepress tools. It takes Figma frames, pages, or spreads and outputs CMYK PDFs with embedded ICC profiles, optional bleed and crop marks, and configurable DPI. The plugin is developed by Cooders Pro (noted in the pricing email domain) and runs entirely inside Figma.

Key Features

• CMYK PDF Export — Convert RGB designs to true CMYK PDFs directly from Figma, avoiding color shifts in commercial printing.
• ICC Profile Support — Embed standard profiles such as ISO Coated v2, FOGRA39, and SWOP, plus custom printer-required profiles.
• Bleed & Crop Marks — Add 3 mm, 5 mm, or custom bleed with crop marks in one click; includes safety zone guides.
• DPI Control — Export at 72, 150, 300 DPI (or higher) with image downsampling options to match print requirements.
• Multi-Page & Batch Export — Export full documents, facing pages, spreads, and multiple frames at once into a single PDF.
• Pantone Spot Colors — Use spot colors with density control for brand-critical packaging and identity jobs.
• Overprint Control — Set fill and stroke overprint where press behavior matters, such as in prepress workflows.

Who is it for?

• Graphic designers who need to produce brochures, posters, and packaging from Figma without switching to InDesign.
• Print shops that receive files with correct bleed, crop marks, and color profiles, reducing rework.
• Marketing teams that produce flyers, catalogs, and event materials directly and avoid design handoff delays.
• Agencies that deliver print-ready files to clients faster with streamlined export controls.

What can you do with Printery?

• Create print-ready brochures — Set up a document with letter or A4 size, add 3 mm bleed and crop marks, design in Figma, then export a CMYK PDF at 300 DPI with an ICC profile.
• Handle packaging with spot colors — Define Pantone spot colors with density control and export a PDF that includes overprint settings for the printer.
• Export multi-page catalogs — Design each page as a Figma frame or spread, then batch export all pages into one print-ready PDF with consistent bleed, crop marks, and ICC profile.

How does Printery work?

After installing the plugin from the Figma Community, designers select the frames or pages they want to export. They then configure color mode (CMYK or RGB), choose an ICC profile, set DPI, enable bleed and crop marks, and export the PDF. The free plan limits document creations to 5 per week and PDF exports to 2 per month, while the Pro plan removes those limits.

Pricing

Printery uses a freemium model. The Free plan includes 5 document creations per week and 2 PDF exports per month, plus bleed, crop marks, safety zones, and DPI checking. The Pro Monthly plan costs $12/month and adds unlimited documents and exports, ICC profiles, Pantone spot colors, overprint settings, and multi-page PDFs. A Pro Yearly plan is available at $48/year (founder price, limited time) — saving 67% over the monthly plan.

FAQ

Can Printery export CMYK PDFs from Figma?

Yes. Select the frames you want to export, set the color mode to CMYK, pick an ICC profile (e.g., ISO Coated v2 or SWOP), and export. The output is a print-ready CMYK PDF with embedded profile.

Do I need InDesign after using Printery?

For many projects — brochures, flyers, posters, packaging, and marketing materials — Printery provides enough print production controls to skip InDesign. Long-form documents like books or complex magazines may still benefit from InDesign’s advanced typography and pagination tools.
