For the last 4 years I'm doing professional designs using inkscape and printing them for clients. If we are able to set the design in printer friendly standard - like dpi, borders, file size, every one is fine to print them.
For some cases, the RGB tone bring bad result, in such cases I import svg to scribus and generate pdf. It works fine.
