Inkscape is amazing. There's lots of things I love about Inkscape. However, there's one flaw it has that I'll be addressing in this video, and that is working with CMYK color profiles.

When designing something for print, a CMYK color profile is required to ensure that your design looks the same in print as it does on your screen. Unfortunately, Inkscape doesn't yet have the ability to work in the CMYK environment, but there are a few workarounds that I'll be exploring in this video.
