Although I do not know anything about DTP. I have heard good things about scribus. I found it just a little bit perturbing that you replied back with a one word `no` answer without mentioning scribus after making the assumption that the OP was indeed looking for `professional quality colour separations` -- what if the OP's primary objective is just page layout (which I believe scribus handles rather well) and is quite happy with the quality of `colour separation` it offers ? Please offer the alternatives and if, in your opinion, they are not up to the mark, say so. Let the users evaluate and decide what works best for them. By not doing this, you are not only discouraging potential users but also potential improvement of the app. (would the users bother with reporting bug ? - who knows ? but still ...) cheers, - steve -- random spiel: http://lonetwin.net/ what i'm stumbling into: http://lonetwin.stumbleupon.com/ -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
