Symptoms		Customer wants to get "traditional" Allegro angles of CMYK at 15-75-0-45 degrees.

Cause		The angle definitions provided in the PPED UI are all specified in the clock coordinate space, where 0 degrees is at 12 o'clock and positive angles are clockwise. Harlequin RIPs run with 0 degrees at 3 o'clock and positive angles counterclockwise. The clock coordinate system is common in film workflows and in Delta IS shops.

Solution		Get output patch 31 or later. Select screen system set Creosettes CMYK 75-15-90-45. Note that the Creosettes family of screen systems has the EllipticalP dot shape running with its long axis along the angle direction, as in the Allegro workflow. Permanent fix:
