Scribus 1.4.7 on win10
Got a proof back from printshop and text is gray, not black.
After investigation I found out:
- The text is black in Scribus (CMYK 0,0,0,100)
- I can export to PDF1.5 using grayscale option and black is kept (tested by justcolorpicker)
- When I convert to PDF/X with Ghostscipt, the text is no longer black (87% black only)
- If I export to PDF/X-3 from Scribus, the text is no longer black either
The print shop prefer PDF/X-4 but can also take PDF/X-3.
How am i going to preserve black on output to PDF/X-3?
If anyone could explain the steps needed to achieve black text I would be grateful.
This seems to be a common question, but I can't find any good answers.
