[scribus] Scribus 1.5.5 & Lulu.com

[tomas]

Louise, pay attention of what kind of CMYK encoding have lulu.com <http://lulu.com/>, what standard?
like: 'swop v2' or 'ISO Coated FOGRA27' or 'ISO Coated FOGRA39' or whatever
if the encoding is wrong, can receive problems like: 
- the color is darker
- the color have less-saturation
- missing overprint 

first of all: calibrate your screen

I have run some printing test from Scribus, but I am finding it hard to settle precisely on the optimum settings in Scribus which also match the perfect printing requirements of Lulu.

Many of the options appear to affect the reproduction quality of photographs which, in my case, see always to come out darker when printed on paper than they were when I put them into my PDF using Scribus. Have I got a wrong Scribus setting, perhaps? Too many possible permutations.
