- It was my impression that Pagemaker didnt use the default greyscale
- compensations built in to apples PS driver, but instead employed a
- different correction method. I cant recall exactly where I saw this
- discussed, could have been in PS book lit (Roth: Real World PS?), maybe in

- The above would result in subtle grey scale value differences tho, not what
- you are complaining about. Perhaps you should print to disk and compare
- the PS to see what is actually going on.
-
- You don't describe your Hardware, perhaps it lacks color QD, and you forgot
- to include support for it when you gened 7.1?
