Printing services generally want CMYK. Nothing I can do about that. I'm looking at using drivethrucards.com to print some cards. They have a beta service which takes CMYK jpeg that I thought I would use. If that doesn't work I could use Scribus. I loaded it but I decided not to try when it loaded a dialog at an insane size for some reason. (It had to be at least 4 times the width of my screen.)
I'll give the imagemagik suggestion a try when I get a chance.
If anyone wants to see a prototype card:
The text has been slightly altered since then and the pentagon around the 12 was cleaned up.

CMYK encoded jpegs are technically within spec (

Subject: [WLUG] CMYK jpeg
Anybody know of an easy tool to convert an image into a CMYK color
space jpeg? I found an online site that works but would like to do it
on my machine. Searching has only found how to do it for tiff files.
