Hi Jan I am a new Scribus user - so, list's expert users, pardon me if I utter anything incorrect! AFAIU, if Scribus embeds an ICC profile in your document then the printer device correctly understands/translates the RGB color to an equivalent CMYK one. I read in the docs that compression is not at all desirable when it comes to printing. Further, I also read in the documentation that JPEG is not a very good file format when it comes to printing and that TIFF is the most recommended, doesn't compress unnecessarily, and that PNG format is good for taking screenshots (if you don't scale screenshots - or don't re-sample when scaling the screenshots). I have also read the caliberating your monitor and printer is also very important for good results. Am I wrong when I say that having the target printer device's profile is very help? I did read something like somewhere in the docs but would anyone on the list, please, explain the logic behind it once again (i.e. having the target printer's profile)?
