So long as we're on the topic of Affinity, I found their implementation of color management rather lacking. Maybe I didn't look in all the right places, but I didn't see where they paid much attention to that module so I don't trust it yet for cmyk conversions and maybe even rgb.
I don't trust anything other than Argyll for color transforms...which is why all I want is a reliable way to print with no color management. For that matter, I don't even need to do the printing from within Affinity. Anything that'll print a TIFF without doing any color transforms or other interpolations or modifications at the specified resolution will do. But it has to be able to do big files...600 ppi or more up to 44" wide and maybe in some very rare instances two or three times as long (though the really big prints won't be 600 ppi). The Canon plugin for Canon's Digital Picture Professional maxes out at 10,000 pixels in the biggest dimension. That's bloody useless for even a 24" printer, let alone a 44" one. b&
