Leave the CM on, it helps visualizing the contents especially if you have a decently calibrated monitor. I've done several "photobooks" with Scribus; some of them had all kinds of mixed graphics (old scans, diapositives, various types of CGI, jpeg's and other digital sources). Color managed monitor is totally necessary to spot and handle differences in those. Most printers ask for just RGB, occasionally some ask for a specific RGB-profile (e.g. AdobeRGB1998, WideGamutRGB or ECI-RGB-v1.0), but they should manage to convert plain sRGB into their workflow. In my case I've used PDF 1.5 without problems. If you search the archives of this list you'll see that some printers ask for specific formats (e.g. LSI wants PDF X/1-a:2001 which has been until now only available with the 1.5.0 SVN-version of Scribus). This is not the first time the labels "Output intended for Screen/Web" vs "Output intended for Printer" cause slight confusion for users; guess we haven't come up with something more descriptive. But the last time I checked the manual/wiki explained this quite nicely. Best regards Sveinn ? Felli
