Operating system

IBM AIX 4.2.1 and IBM AIX 4.3.3

Symptoms

• Nested DCS2.0 files in the Composite PostScript mode are not currently supported.
• The OPI and PSImage of the DCS2.0 format are not currently supported.
• When creating a DCS2 file, make sure that you do not include an EPS object whose prefix name is the same as the DCS2 filename.
• The PS Preview application on the Brisque does not display all the DCS2.0 Spot layers, except for the last Spot layer.
• If the DCS2.0 file contains Spot Color separations, it must be RIPed in either the All to Spot or Specific mode. The All to Process mode produces poor RIP results.
• Merging two Spot color of a DCS2.0 image in the Specific mode will cause one Spot separation to disappear. This occurs in both RIP Level 2 and 3. This does not effect additional Spot separations in the file.
