Unfortunately, it did not help me. The result is still: "Total ink density: 400%". The problem seems to be Scribus, not ICC profile. When I use ImageMagick (convert cover-RGB.tiff +profile icm -profile /usr/share/color/icc/AdobeRGB1998.icc -profile /usr/share/color/icc/SC_paper_eci.icc cover-CMYK.pdf) to make a PDF file, I get the result: "Total ink density: 227%".
