Hi Tino, > You probably want to look a bit deeper into color management. It's > non-trivial to get right. Getting colors to look on screen as on paper > is very difficult and requires a lot of consideration (e.g. correct > monitor calibration and profile, correct printer profile etc.) Heard that before. Well it's just a private production, so there's no need to be perfect, but the result at the moment is not really satisfying. Well, i have some time left, so I am ready to get deeper into the topic. But from the statement, that I should not use embedded profiles I thought, that this is not the direction I should run to. Maybe I am wrong, I am new to this topic. Maybe I can use profile while converting, but don't embed the profile into the resulting PDF?
I uploaded a PDF with the settings mention bellow and only got a warning: Warnung: In Ihrem Dokument werden ICC-basierende Farbr?ume verwendet. ~Warning: Your document uses ICC-based color-spaces. So since the resulting pdf looks much better, I might ignore this warning and print it that way anyway, we'll see. Maybe we'll also find a better solution. > Key issues: > - Enable color management in Scribus. Done, it was off up until now. So the test-print (PDF) was produced without color managment turned on. I guess this is bad :-) > - Ask your printing company about the profile they use. They'll probably > tell you "Euroskala" (which is Euroscale Coated) or "ISOCoated". Yes, you're right. On their website they recommend ISOcoated_v2. (http://www.printweb.de/support/Druckdaten/Bilddaten.html, Umwandlung RGB- zu CMYK-Daten, ICC Profile) On the other hand I should not embedd ICC profiles. That troubles me a bit. > - Use that profile in Scribus, so it will convert RGB colors correctly. > - Remember that RGB contains colors which cannot be represented in CMYK Ok, i turned Color Managment on, but i can't choose between profiles. All drop down boxes just contain one alternative (plus the empty alternative). I'll search the wiki on how to get and install these profiles. I produced an pdf with the following settings: http://mumpitz.bplaced.net/settings.png http://mumpitz.bplaced.net/settingspdf.png and the result looks much better! I now got a warning (see above). I'll try to do the same process with the correct profiles. > Which viewer did you use to get these pictures? What CMYK profile did > you use? What RGB profile? Adobe Reader 8 on Linux. Profiles in Scribus: None, color management was disabled. Thanks for your hints so far Greetings Jan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
