A different Pantone need

Hello List,

I have used Scribus 1.5.5 to prepare a file to be silk-screen-printed
unto t-shirts.

Now I am stuck with the online order:

The print-shop will print with special fabric-ink and their
online-order-mask gives a choice of colours, all referenced by the
Pantone Solid Coated series. For example we want our text printed in
"PANTONE Yellow 012 C".

So I do not care what it looks like on my screen; I have 255 233 0 as an
approximation to show my team.

But our online affordable printer, is needing the color-information
encoded into our PDF/X-4 file because they offer many different colours
and their order-process is fully automated.

I have looked through this list and seen some hacks on how to handle
Pantone-equivalents with basically RGB swatches, but our need is all
different.



I also just created an export to PDF/X-4 and opened it with my best
editor. I can read but I see no obvious structure. When I needed, I
boldly edit Scribus .sla files, but those are "nice" compared to this
PDF syntax.



It would be a shame after all those years with Scribus, to rob a bank
and get InDesign, just to convert my (already designed) T-shirt document
for the print-shop-upload.

Any ideas?


Thank you, greetings,

Martin
