Hi Dwain, my only intention for printing was to have a "first sight" on a printout of my script to make layout corretions, not to get a first-class product on high qualitiy paper. (not on a 115g / m² paper :-) I told my printer beforehand what I'm  wanting but he finally surprised me with

hi konrad, 2 euros a page for a manuscript isn't so bad. what would the price have been if the printer used four colors instead of one? were there any color images (photos, graphs, etc)? if there were color images as well as text set to black, then the color increased the price and also caused a

Hi Uwe, I am not familiar with Scribus. But if you create a pdf  there could be a problem: Please take care that the text in your script is marked "black" and NOT "automatically". If text is "black" only the black toner / ink is used. "Automatically" means that black is mixed together with

You are using the wrong tool, Gimp is only a raster graphics editor. If you have a lot of text, use a typesetting application such as Scribus, and keep Gimp to edit the images. Then the PDF/PS from Scribus will keep the text information. On 5/3/19 2:56 PM, Uwe Sassnowski wrote: Hello, I

Hello Jehan and Dwain, I thank you very much for your helpful answeres! All this makes realy sense. I now started to work with Scribus. To be honest I had some program crashes (I think because of my unknowingness in the first steps :)) and some color fields are difficult to design. But all in

john and uwe, here, here. i agree whole-heartedly. gimp is a raster (pixel) based program while inkscape is a vector (number) based program which produces "smooth" outlines. scribus is a page layout program that handles the job of combining raster images, vector images and text into a neat package
