About sK1 2.0
sK1 2.0 is a lesser-known vector editor built for professional print and prepress work rather than just screen graphics. It supports CMYK workflows and PDF/PS output, and it includes the core primitives you would expect from Illustrator-style tools: curves, shapes, text, layers, and pages. The project is open source and cross-platform, so teams that need a printable vector pipeline without commercial licensing can self-host their tooling and customize it. It is particularly useful for packaging, posters, and layouts where color management and print accuracy matter. For The Stash, it fills a niche between hobbyist vector tools and heavyweight commercial suites, with an emphasis on precision output and production-ready files.
