Spot aware print workflow techniques and system are described. In an implementation, a digital document is received for printing that includes a plurality of objects. Spot functionality is detected as corresponding to a respective object based on object properties detected for the respective object. One or more spot planes for are generated based on the spot functionality and a determination is made of color values for the one or more spot planes, respectively, based on context data describing a context, in which, the one or more spot planes are to be printed. The spot planes having the color values are output for printing by a print mechanism.
