      What I need to figure out still is a working registration black I can use when I do this method of printing...

      Did you try using the Registration color in the VS default palette (should be just after the null color)?
      That should print on all plates.

      I tried using the built in registration black to no avail.... it would not show up on the final output pdf.

      I've attached the file here in hopes @b77 and @vectoradmin in particular could help me find a solution.

        Found the issue: it does not show up on the spot plates. This is a bug.

          " ... What kind of digital printing do you do now? ..."
          I don't work anymore 🙂
          I do vector graphics only for fun/hobby or friends now.

          Here a small collection. The first two, are things I have
          also done professionally. Whereas I designed "wood saws"
          privately for a friend. The other, in my spare time to try
          different styles.

          The rest is private stuff. Lately I like to experiment with
          symmetrical designs. I will continue to do so.

          Btw. if you think the little man in the last line, would not be vector graphics 🙂
          Then you are half wrong. Is made in Concepts an app I like to use on my iPad.
          It is a vector app but partially with bitmap like brushes. The others are mostly
          CorelDraw.

            Awesome! Getting this fixed will be great as I can begin to send out separation files exporting right from VS!

              @Subpath Thanks for sharing your work! I really love that butterfly and horse in particular. I could see those making really awesome shirts for example. I would have guessed a raster image on that little man, lo. cool stuff. I love the symmetrical design studies - keep experimenting and sharing. If you figure out cool tricks in VS, let me know- share in the forum for sure. 🙂

                  Here yet two Videos that shows some Brushes
                  of the "Concepts" App (iPad) and belive it or not.
                  It is still vector graphics everything stay editable.

                    @Subpath Are those brushes bitmap based though? I know that is an issue in the Affinity forum for example, 95% of their "vector" brushes are actually bitmap brushes that can look like vector but cannot be expanded or treated like pure 100% vector

                      "...Are those brushes bitmap based though? ..."

                      These brushes are not skeleton brushes like in Affinity Designer, where you move
                      a bitmap virtually on a vector line.

                      In Concepts with the built-in watercolor, airbrush and pencil brush. I can zoom to
                      the maximum (1600%) without it getting pixelated. And also with other built-in brushes.
                      The watercolor brush even mixes the colors a little bit and everything runs smoothly,
                      without any delays. In addition, Concepts has also an infinite canvas.

                      Concepts behaves similarly to a vector application, but uses a different philosophy.
                      Vector lines do not have Nodes, you can move a line into a curve with a Pull-Tool.
                      There are also no Boolean operators to cut objects. You can fake it a bit with the masking tool,
                      and there is a real vector eraser.
                      I think it comes pretty close to a vector paint program.

                        @Subpath Awesome! I'll have to play around with it. I think I found the website
                        https://concepts.app/en/

                          Yes, that is the Website.
                          Have to say that the Windows Version is a bit limited, no Watercolor Brush
                          and a few other things i dont remember. But has the Airbrush and the Pencil.
                          You could try the free Demo.

                          I own the iPad Version. Also if you deciced to buy the App, look carefully
                          it seems subscription based. But there is also an Non-subscription version
                          (i own this Version).

                          I have this:
                          Essentials 14,99 € (the non Subcription Version)
                          PDF-Essentials 4,99 € ( for PDF Export )
                          Shape Library 1,99 € ( Kind of Clipboard/Asset Browser )

                          Win 11
                          CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X, 6-core.
