| Summary | 0017324: Conformity to the GWG specifications | ||||
| Description | Through the report of one of our users https://forums.scribus.net/index.php/topic,5695.msg25049.html we found out in the forums that there is something called GWG specifications for printers: https://gwg.org/technical-specifications/gwg-2015-specifications/ I wonder if: - those specification are really relevant in the print world, and - if Scribus can do anyhting to conform to the profiles specified in there. | ||||

Interesting. It seems that the GWG only applies their specifications to the available Adobe Preflight criteria. You can download different profiles and settings for different programs from their website. https://gwg.org/application-settings/ In order to support the GWG specifications, we would need to expand the preflight options. I think it would also make sense to outsource the preflight profiles to external files. This would allow printers to create and distribute their own profiles for Scribus. I also found a current table with the 2022 GWG specifications. This table contains different configurations for different applications, such as digital printing, packaging, magazines and newspapers. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fz7I7pVl0uOTqEqmXeFIEo2LQm97AluHnlTMikzHenI/edit?gid=1517349650#gid=1517349650 |
