I complain a lot about Inkscape vs. Adobe Illustrator when it comes to print design. Do you want to do something about it? Do you want us to have nice free software tools for print?

Well Martin Owens @doctormo@floss.social is making things better, he's the one working on CMYK and revamped PDF export for Inkscape. It seems like a massive endeavour, and it looks very promising!

This would open up Inkscape to a whole new sector. Inkscape is pretty good for digital work, but it lacks crucial features for print. CMYK would be a massive step in the right direction.

You can support his work on Liberapay and Patreon. Personally, I would do so, if I had an income
