Update on the Colour printing from Frame question

[Bill Briggs <web@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

As a followup to the post Mark Barratt made the other day (re. colour
printing from Frame), I sent the following clip to the electronic prepress
guru at our print shop.  He knows his stuff inside out.  Mark grew up in a
print shop and has printers ink (6 colour) in his veins.  He has an
incredible depth of understanding of the computers and peripherals that
they use.  They do a lot of work with Frame input on both Docutechs and
offset presses.  He knows his business.  His laconic reply is at the bottom
of the message.

The above statement is untrue, unless of course there is a problem with
Barco's software itself.
