For Scribus users, some tidibts:

http://rants.scribus.net/2006/10/14/krita-16a-new-tool-for-your-toolbox-1/

That said, there are still some issues with image format conversions 
in that Krita does not set some resolution parameters in the image 
files. Otherwise said, Krita has no notion of DPI. The Krita devs 
know that and are working on a solution.

But the major point is you can visualize the colors in Krita and 
expect them to print or export the same in CMYK.
