Hi I am designing a dustjacket in scribus — the printers in Europe require a 100%
black barcode(black only with no CMY present even if the values are set to 0)
They have told me to use the barcode creation function in Scribus.
My question is — where is the tool to create a barcode?
I am using scribus v1.5.6. windows
hi fugueviz
try 'insert' → 'barcode'.

Hi FugueViz94,
The only way that I can see to create the black the company is asking for is to use a spot color if they do not want any CMY represented in the color black. I would ask them if this is what they are requiring.
Cheers!

Hi, for me when I first opened scribus on windows the barcode option was not there.
I read the plugin description, and that said that it uses ghostscript to generate the barcodes.
Once I installed it, then restarted scribus the option appeared.
