Most consumer printers only accept RGB data.<br></div><div> <br></div>So the first thing to find out is: What color spaces can the printer accept?<br><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">And then: How do I get my document to that color space using a minimum of conversions?<br><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">In most cases the answers are: The printer expects sRGB colors which means exporting to PDF for screen/web is the easiest way.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">There are exceptions, but they are rare.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Since you normally have no control over the RGB to CMYK conversion inside the printer, you need to get a color profile for the printer to make the preview in Scribus look as the print. Trying to make the print look like the preview in Scribus is the wrong way around.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">And, to get a really good color profile for the printer, you should print a test document and measure the colors, because the colors do not only depend on the printer and the ink/toner, but also the paper used. The second best it to get the printer manufacturers profile.<br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">/Peter<br></div></div></div>
