I need to get a banner printed and have done it in Pixelmator Pro 1.3.2
I have read a lot on this forum and others and understand that best for the file to be in PDF and CMYK and layers flattened.
I believe that PDF CMYK soft proof export is not supported in Pixelmator Pro 1.3.2 but JPG TIFF is.
What does everyone suggest is best, PDF not CMYK or JPG or TIFF with CMYK?
Also how do I flatten the layers, looks like I just select the layers and click Merge Layers in bottom left of the inspector.
See screenshot below.
I welcome all comments and thoughts on how best to proceed.
Printing will be a canvas banner but want to know when also printing leaflets, flyers etc for the future.
I don't have Adobe InDesign or Photoshop, so can't put file into theses apps for conversion which some forums have suggested, seems to defeat the purpose of buying Pixelmator Pro if you just have to finish off in Adobe apps.
Thanks for all advice.
Cheers Scott
