As Louis wrote, you can convert to TIF in GIMP (RGB only for the time being), but I somehow doubt that it wouldn't work with JPEGs either. You have to make sure that your output is "Printer" in PDF settings. Scribus will then create a file with colours in CMYK colourspace. As for the CMYK-values of the fill colour, the easiest way is to write down the CMYK values from scribus and tell the printer what they are (this colour is C= , M= , Y= , K= ). I always do that to make sure I get what I want. > I hope someone of you can explain to me what to do. Is this possible with > Scribus. The printer shop confirms that they make such a transalation with > their DTP software (express I thought they mentioned). This is a strange thing that happens in many small shops. They try to use QXP (Xtensions) for everything, including impositions and separations. The result are problems that would not occur with Acrobat + PitStop or other well suited programmes. groeten, Christoph
