</div></div> use a variant of a common icc profile to make sure that the<br>
requirement of LSI (no more than 240% coverage) is observed.<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Does this mean that if I use the same profile in Scribus and in Acrobat that I should get similar results?<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">@Christoph - > What are the variables that you are talking about? I understand that there is a whole chain of processing that gets done during the printing process, but that is completely invisible to me. Is there a web site that has a tutorial on this that describes the process?<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">What I'm trying to achieve is sending a pdf for a circular (flier) to a commecial printer and have the confidence that the printed results will match my intentions. This printing company has a "Prinergy" setup that does Gray Component Replacement, Sets total ink coverage to 280%, Black Start @30%, Black Max @90% and Black Strength @ 50%. At least that's what the printer people told me. I understand this only in a general sort of way, but not really in terms of how it will affect the final product (which is printed, but I've not seen a hard copy of).<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">It could be that I'm worrying needlessly about this. It just seems to me that if I send the printer a pdf that needs less tweaking by their print system, then I will be more likely to have the results match my intentions.<br clear="all">
