Thank you all for your input. As I was stressed for time, I have asked a friend at some University to convert my eps-file into an PDF/X-4 with valid Pantone color codes. I had done the typography in Scribus because Inkscape is rather bad for text and copied the text over to Inkscape to add a logo and export as eps. This has not solved my Scribus problem, but has allowed me to place the order. Will report, if I ever find a working solution, where I can regularly prepare my own silk-screen orders in Scribus. greetings, Martin On 19/10/2020 18:41, Bert Driehuis wrote: > I noticed that the "How to use spot colors with Scribus" Wiki page has > gone, but common wisdom for using Pantone is that the name of the > color must match the Pantone name exactly.
