I used blender to my industrial designs and printing but ugly thing in my work is converting RGB colors to CMYK . unfortunately blender don't support CMYK color space :(
Hi, Decopaj.
If you would like to use open source CMYK converting, try Scribus page layout application. You render in Blender, make your composition in whatever graphics application you like, and output in Scribus.
No CMYK suport is not a drawback in Blender. CMYK is so specific to printing press oriented appliacations that you have to rely on special software for that purpose.
I'm a book publisher and I have to say that there aren't CMYK colors on the screen, only over paper, since our screens work with RGB colors. CMYK colors on screen is only an illusion to keep us more confident about our work. But, as Mihaly said, you can use Scribus to convert your images. It's simple and it's free.
