The bigger problem is the blurring your seeing. Your printer should be able to do the conversions themselves, if they are of the mind to do so. Inkscape won't produce the file they are looking for, that is a PDF with the ICC for CMYK Web Coated SWOP attached.Īll of this is something of overkill. Doesn't matter if you send them the svg and Illustrator opens it, (unless they are willing to set the colors themselves.) Doesn't matter if you get the profile and set the cmyk colors in the svg with Inkscape. You would use the color profile in Scribus. Using ICC profiles, you get the most accurate map from the colors you see on your monitor to the output device, bearing in mind that some colors in one color space can never be made in another.īut, as I have been trying to say, Inkscape can not, can not, produce a pdf with an attached color profile. If your in the UK or lots of Europe, CMYK FOGRA39 is probably what to go with. As this is going to probably an offset printer in the US, you want probably want a CMYK Web Coated SWOP one. Basically it allows color from a device and color space to be mapped to color and color space to another device. You have some on your system for your monitor that the OS deals with. Then as the tutorial says, open Scribus, and import it.Ĭolor profiles files, icc, are International Color Consortium compliant files that help match an input or output device to a color space. (CMYK is a print color model) I would save it as SVG.
I don't think there's any file format called CYMK. If you don't have anything selected, or it you have something selected which doesn't have a fill color, then most of the Fill tab is grayed out.Īccording to the tutorial, you do not need to export as CMYK. Yes, the tabs are only available when any object with a fill color is selected. Regarding your question about why go to the CMS tab anyway - I would say, because that's what the tutorial says to do. Did you select the same profile from the list? Anyway, I get the impression that you need to choose whatever color profile which you chose in Doc Prop, in the CMS tab.
I actually have a color profile listed which is a lot like the one in the tutorial - called SWOP. There should be one or 2 already listed in the Color tab of Document Properties. I don't think you need to actually create or install a new color profile to your computer.
