[scribus] CMYK problem

[Bert Driehuis]

Your print shop will be able to tell you what profile they accept
(mine takes Fogra39, which is for offset printing).

I've got multiple copies of the Fogra39 profile on my system. I'm not
sure where Scribus gets its profiles from, but you may want to check
that you've got these two packages installed, as they both contain the
Fogra39 profile in different forms:

icc-profiles-free
colord-data

I'm not a color expert so take this with a grain of salt.

With kind regards,
Bert Driehuis
