I am preparing the cover of my first book and have some questions. I have never gone to a printer before, so I am kind of wondering what my files should be/have.
Q1) In scribus, when printing the pdf file with the cover design, what setting should I take a look? Q2) How about the CMYK business? My pictures where loaded as tif files in rgb (output from GIMP), so, what should I do to make it CMYK during the pdf file production? Do I need to make the file CMYK? or the printer convert the color space? Q3) How could I check that the colors I see in my screen will be the same when printed? Is there any way to see the result without telling the printer to run a job with their machines? How about if I go to Kinkos and print one copy? How much off would it be? My system: linux fedora core 3, scribus, linux, inkscape, b/w laser printer. thank you... Ciro ===== ================== Ciro A. Soto Author of "The Guitar Maker.
