      Will look, but do not expect anything special
      I'm more experimenting at the moment.
      To find out solutions for some ideas.

        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 )
