Starting to put together a fitness program and took some photos, then imported them to inkscape (0.46 Windows) , did Objects to Pattern and then Pattern to Paths which enabled me to cut it out to have only white for the background. See http://www.statesa.com/screenshot.php (I guess this is the way to do it).
My printer requires
Acceptable File Formats (* We prefer press ready file in PDF format)
• Adobe Acrobat 7.0 or lower(*.pdf)
• Adobe Photoshop CS3 or lower(*.psd)
• Adobe Illustrator CS3 or lower(*.ai)
• CorelDRAW 12.0 or lower(*.cdr)
• JPEG Image (*.jpg)
• *.tif file
Resolution
300dpi is required for best quality print.
Colour Mode
All colours as CMYK, not RGB or Pantone
I have read that I can't get it to CMYK with Inkscape unless i first import svg to Scribus but it doesn't show the photos when I do an import in Scribus - is it because the images are 'pathed'?
Is there another way or do I revert to commercial software.
Thanks
Chris

I've never done it (but want to learn), but I hear GIMP might help here. It might need an extension.
Search on [ GIMP CMYK plugin ] for some leads. Please report back what you learn!

it´s becouse scribus wont recognize a path like ¨file:///volumes/somethingelse/whatever/yourimage.png¨ but it will recognize ¨///volumes/somethingelse/whatever/yourimage.png¨.
after you save the file on inkscape, open it on a text editor like xpad, smultron or textedit, and just delete the part ¨file:¨ and save. now scribus will display your images correctly. if the image you imported is located in the same folder as the svg file you can leave just the name of the file (/yourimage.png). remember you can use ¨search and replace¨ to delete several ¨file:¨ instances at once, but i´m not sure if that will hurt the xml code somewhere else.
note that if you edit the svg in inkscape after removing the line ¨file:¨ and save, it will appear again.
