Title: Colors
Post by: Thomas on September 18, 2025, 10:07:29 AM
Hello,
The colors on the exported pdf look dull in comparison to these in scribus. On screen.

Images are CMYK
Color management activated
Profile IsoCoated V2 300%
Exit on printer

I think I did everything to do it right but I am deconcerted by this tarnish look on the pdf file.
Is there anything I could do ?
Thanks allready,

Thomas

The conversion to CMYK is expected to produce duller colors.

Are you sure that you did activate the CMS preview in Scribus?

ion the pdf export panel there is an option to switch from screen/web to printer output. I'd check what it is set to and and if it is printer (CMYK) then set to screen/web and export. does this correct the issue for you?
