RE: Screen capture, display properties, CMYK printing

Michael,

Absolutely WRONG! Although FrameMaker internally preserves any
CMYK color information within the document format, the Windows GDI
interface with both the application program and the display and 
printer drivers is strictly RGB. There is NO driver for ANY printer
under Windows that can accept CMYK data.

Sorry!
