Hi all,
I'm designing the artwork for a CD I'm about to release in Scribus. I love open source, so I prefer it to Adobe products. The printing house requires PDFs in CMYK, so that is what I export to. However, when I open the PDF, the one grey color I use is lighter than the original (I check with Kcolorchooser). When I export for Screen/Web, the PDF has the correct color. Things I did:
- did some research in this forum
- enabled Color Management
- replace the RGB color with its equivalent CMYK value
- trying different PDF versions (1.3 to 1.5)
Will the PDFs I exported have the correct color, even though my screen tells otherwise? Or should I intervene somewhere so the situation for CMYK produces the same results as for RGB?
I'm on Linux Mint 18.2 with Scribus 1.4.6.
Cheers!
