sK1 Project is an open-source software initiative focusing on developing high-quality graphic applications, particularly catering to prepress and professional publishing needs. The project's most notable product is the sK1 2.0 vector graphics editor, which is uniquely engineered to offer full support for professional color management, crucial for the printing industry. This includes features like CMYK color support and rich color palettes from various color systems.Central to sK1's innovation is its pioneering support for importing and exporting complex vector graphics formats not commonly handled by other popular graphic editors, such as CorelDRAW, Adobe Illustrator, and Xara Xtreme. It also supports PostScript, PDF, and the standard SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) file format, further extending its utility in professional settings.One of the standout features of the sK1 Project is its approach to color management that integrates color profiling and uses an ICC (International Color Consortium) profile interface to maintain color accuracy across different devices. This is particularly important for maintaining consistent branding and professional print output quality.Another unique feature of sK1 is its use of a universal CDR (CorelDRAW) importer, which is reverse-engineered to be more comprehensive than the native support found in other open-source projects. This makes sK1 a valuable tool for opening and converting proprietary file formats in a free and open-source environment.
