Hi, We are facing the same problem with our new Creo/Docucolor. This is still under investigation. We found that color data remains in the resulting PDF file (or Quark XPress file) when a picture is embeded into an Illustrator file which is in turn imported into Quark. No matter whether the pic is set to grayscale or anything else. I have no other clue so far but will be posting info as soon as I get it. Something similar must happen with your Scribus' PDFs, I guess. I didn't test that. On the overcharge field, I can only suggest of trying to establish good communication with your vendor. They basically have no interest in keeping you unsatisfied by charging the extra money for something you didn't ask for. In our case, the problem is new and did not happen with the other version of Creo. So, the file is not the only factor in the workflow. It must be the way it is processed, "understood" by the rip. Xerox people fully understand that and we do get credits when this happens, proofs in hand! I hope this helps.
