hey, Jon,

here is a translation to english of an email message that one guy sent a few moments ago to the brazilian inkscape-users mailing list.
I'm afraid we've got a wave of misunderstanding here...

I'm going to travel now to countryside (I'll be offline and I'll be back to the internet on january 4th)

Subject: [Inkscape Brasil] SK1 também já manipula dados no "device-cmyk"
To: Comunidade Inkscape Brasil <inkscape-brasil@...2207...>


Olá pessoal

Há alguns dias conversei com o Igor, responsável pelo desenvolvimento
do sK1, e ele disse que seria possível o sK1 usar também os dados
"device-cmyk". Hoje recebi a confirmação, vejam o chat:

[translation:]
Some days ago I chatted with Igor, the guy responsible for developing sK1, and he told me that it would be possible to make sk1 use data from "device-cmyk". Today I have received a confirmation, check our recent chat:


Igor: According to your request we have implemented device-cmyk in sK1
me: hi there
Oh, great to know!
can I say that in Inkscape-brasil mailing list?
Igor: yes of course
the code in SVN
me: thanks!
Igor: device-cmyk is implemented as for SVG importer and for SVG exporter

Então, os arquivos SVG gerados no Inkscape que possuem dados do
"device-cmyk" serão abertos no sK1 respeitando tais valores. Apenas
não sei dizer que o sK1 exporta PDF em CMYK, mas se sim, os arquivos
gerados no Inkscape poderão ser abertos no sK1 e exportados em PDF com
cores CMYK. Alguém disposto a testar? :D

Obrigado, até mais...

So, SVG files created in Inkscape that have data stored in "device-cmyk" will be properly opened in sK1 respecting those values. I just dont know whether sK1 exports PDF files in CMYK, but if that's the case, it will be possible to open in sK1 the files created in Inkscape and export them as PDF with colors information in CMYK. Anyone willing to test  it? :D

Thanks, bye...
