Learn moreWhat makes Printability different
- 1
Print from the tools you already design in
Switching to Adobe InDesign for print means building your designs twice. Printability brings print production into the tools designers already use, starting with Figma, so there’s only one version of each design to keep up to date.
- 2
Real CMYK, bleed, and crop marks
Figma’s native PDF export is RGB only and has no bleed or crop mark support. Print for Figma converts colors to CMYK using ICC profiles, extends artwork into the bleed, and adds trim marks, which is what commercial printers expect.
- 3
Built by a print designer, not just a developer
Ben spent over a decade in print production and prepress before founding Printability, and he still answers support requests himself. When a printer rejects your file, you’re talking to someone who knows why, not a ticket queue.
- 4
Built to professional PDF standards
Exported files are verified against industry preflight checks, like those in Adobe Acrobat, so they hold up at the print shop. Features are never hacked together just to check a box: if something can’t be done to proper PDF standards, it doesn’t ship.
- 5
Simple, transparent pricing
Prices are listed publicly: $12 a month for Pro, or $20 per seat for Teams, with discounts for annual billing. There are no quotes, sales calls, or long-term contracts, and it costs less than an Adobe InDesign subscription.

The original print plugin for Figma
Print for Figma launched in 2019 as the first plugin to bring print design capabilities to Figma. It has since grown to 273,783 users and a 4.8 out of 5 rating across more than 1,000 reviews.

The team behind Printability
Printability started in 2019, when Ben built Print for Figma while studying computer science at Simon Fraser University. He was a print designer who liked working in Figma but kept hitting the same wall: Figma had no way to produce files a printer would accept.
Before that, Ben spent over a decade in graphic design and print production, including work as a publishing assistant designing book interiors, covers, and packaging. That prepress and color management background is what the products are built on.
Printability is independent and founder-led. Ben designs and builds every product and works directly with customers from Vancouver, BC. Read Ben’s full bio.
How Printability works
Individuals can start for free by installing Print for Figma from the Figma Community. Upgrading to Pro happens inside the plugin through Figma’s own checkout, so there’s no separate account to create.
Communication channels
Email anytime, or use the live chat inside the Printability dashboard once you’re signed in.
Response times
Every customer gets hands-on support. Free users get basic support, and Pro and Teams customers get priority support.
Who you’ll work with
Ben Katz, the founder. You’ll work directly with the person who designed and built the plugin.
Turnaround
Pro unlocks the moment Figma’s checkout completes. Teams license keys activate instantly when pasted into the plugin.
Teams onboarding
Onboarding is fully self-serve and usually takes a few minutes:
- Install Print for Figma TEAMS from the Figma Community.
- An admin buys seats on printability.app.
- The admin copies the team’s license key from the Printability dashboard and shares it.
- Each teammate clicks Get Pro in the plugin, pastes the key, and clicks Activate Pro.
