Hi all, I'm ready to produce my first Scribus-made book, 770+ pages. Scribus is really great, thank you all for the good work and all your help!
I noticed that there is an pdf option in the settings dialog, both general and document, where color can be set to either printer or monitor. I used monitor before, it looked fine on the monitor, now I tried printer as this ought to be printed, and the colors are not as they should be on the monitor. The pdf-file is much larger, about 20 times as big, as well. As I already printed this book in a previous 700-page-version with Lulu, I know that the colors come fine when they look good on the monitor (should be rather saturated on the monitor than not, rather oversharped than not). I fear that when I print from the printer-specific pdf, things might go wrong. Not so nice with a book as big as this one. I already had one misprinted copy from Lulu (not my fault, though, got an excellent replacement copy). Which option is the right one to choose? Is this something I should ask the printer about or wouldn't he know what I'm talking about? It is a company in Germany trying to find a way between Lulu and a conventional publisher: shaker-media.de, people who talk and listen to their authors. Thanks a lot! Werner
