I am happy with my nightlyĭownload of 1.5.0, but others don't have the facilities for compilation etc. That is why IĬampaigned (unsuccessfully) for inclusion of the X/1-a output in some earlier version of Scribus. You fill out a form and get another form back with the values to plug into Scribus (any version.) The values are overall heightĪnd width of the document (including bleeds) and the positions of vertical guides.ĭownloading and compiling 1.5.0 is not so simple for Windows and OS X users, although it can be done of course. I don't use the LSI template but I do follow their cover file naming convention of course. The profile can beĪ kind person on the icc mailing list created it for me.įor those who lack 1.5.0 and who prepare files for LSI I suggest saving as a tiff file. To keep LSI happy IĪlso use an ICC profile that is taken from a standard ICC profile but with in ink saturation limit of 240%. I load the sla file into Scribus 1.5.0 and save from there. The conversion to PDF X/1-a:2001 is very simple. Note at the end the instructions for joining the listserve. Just today he replied to a thread there and I think his answer may help you, pasted below. I have never used LSI, but there is a regular participant in the Scribus listserve who uses them all the time.
