ghostcript can add a color profile, too. I use the regular ISO coated v2 (without the 300%). This is just a step to not do all things in Scribus by hand and make sure colors are not out of gamut.

I don't now the command line from the top of my head. Just ping me again, so when I am on my computer I can send the complete ghostscript cli line that currently works for me.

The final profile is set up by Scribus, where I have set it to the ISO coated with 300%. Ideally I would like to have less steps in the chain, so that a change in the Inkscape-source involves less manually steps. One can dream of it. (:

    Here I am again.

    I've been fantasizing of making a simple GS GUI.

    Finally I found the time to write down, how I use Ghostscript:

    gs \
        -sDEVICE=pdfwrite \
        -o /output/gs_file.pdf \
        -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress \
        -sProcessColorModel=DeviceCMYK \
        -sDefaultCMYKProfile=/path/to/ISOcoated_v2_eci.icc \
        -sColorConversionStrategy=CMYK \
        source/file.pdf \
        -f
    

    I don't now which of ProcessColorModel or ColorConversionStrategy is the important one. I kept both and did not bother to try to omit one of them. -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress makes sure that embedded bitmaps are in 300dpi and I think -f prevents Ghostscript staying in interactive mode after all pages have been finished.
