    I'm pumped for Affinity Publisher. For the little bit of print work I still do, I'm tied to InDesign. But once there is a viable production alternative, I'm leaving Adobe behind completely.

      I've been able to switch to Affinity Designer for all my print work (which is not substantial). So glad to leave adobe behind!

        It's a good feeling, right? I personally like to own my software outright. The last bit of print work I mainly do is publishing layout for magazines and such, so InDesign has me locked with the printers...but I am excited to see what Affinity Publisher is going to do in that space.

        Have you had any problems when sending files to printshops?

          AD can output a PDF. You generally wouldn't send AI, PSD or INDD files to print – at least, I wouldn't.

          Edit: I take this back... I'm pretty sure in the past I've definitely sent over INDD packages before. Brain melt... depends on the project tho.

          Not yet, but then again a) my print jobs are modest / limited and real pros likely have needs I don't, and b) I almost always set everything myself and use only finished, compressed files. Meaning, I'll outline the fonts and send a PDF or TIFF, never any proprietary formats... and those are universal!
