Hi JLUC,


This isn't just a problem with Scribus. You'll be facing the same questions when using Adobe, VIVA or Affinity products. And don't get me started on QuarkXPress. ;)


freieFarbe/freeColour have been working and continue to work with print and pre-press providers on a much simpler workflow based on sRGB. See for an introduction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lur3fn7r150&list=PLJdRa1t1C1M7Xd6yrFyON84uflxCvvG_5&index=12&t=0s


There are also more detailed videos available in German: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJdRa1t1C1M7Xd6yrFyON84uflxCvvG_5


Kind regards,
Christoph
