This usually happens when we write after midnight and we start to take wrong shortcuts

No worries, no hard feelings either, I will stick around as well
Thanks a lot for this nice post! Have a great day.

There is a plugin that will convert between RGB and CMYK see: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-CMYK-color-mode-Gimp-2-10?pid=11743#pid11743
Although remember that Gimp is 100% a RGB editor.
A bit about pre-viewing your work using soft-proofing. https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-The-Rough-Guide-to-Soft-Proofing

I do not know why PixLab is attacking me personally with a jibe about making money. I guess he is someone who is supposed to attack people if they do anything other than praising GIMP. Considering the person is trying to earn his bread and butter, I can only remind him that I have been using GIMP - defending and suggesting it for years. And this is one good way to repay the loyalty and a habit of speaking the truth, not being a fanboy of anything.
I feel bad when someone says you cannot design a business card in GIMP, for personal use or otherwise. I have been following LogosByNick and Davies Media Design. There is a specific video about how to use Scribus to add CMYK support.
Well, PixLab has succeeded in making me a GIMP critic from someone who loves and preaches GIMP from ~ 2010.
I have GIMP, Blender and Inkscape on my Linux. I have used Krita and I was told that we can try GIMP output in Krita. Never tried it myself. But thanks for reminding me about it.

I am not attacking you nor any one, I'm not doing any jibe, I just quoted your sentence where you say "I can earn a little bit if the output is professional press-ready"
No worries, i'm done here
