- I believe the problems are:
-
- - emulsion down does not work correctly for all paper sizes.
- - angles and frequencies for bitmapped pictures do not work correctly.
- - color separation of pictures, or UCR/GCR, isn't very good at this time.
- - spot colors are not implemented. Always prints CMYK plates.
- - negative works only on first page of multipage docs.
