Re: FL4 height loss, on FACSCalibur?

Frederic,

As far as I know you can only use either FL4 A+W OR FL4H, you can't get FL4
H+W+A on a FACScalibur 4 Color machine.
Neither can you use FL1,2,3 A+W both (only FL1,2,3, A, not W) if you
activate FL4H.

I think it's probably because the 4 Color option was designed as an upgrade
and had to fit into existing FACSsort circuitry... I don't know the exact
technical details (maybe somebody from BDIS could explain them...), but
your are not missing something neither did you find a bug in the software,
things are designed like this... but maybe if we make some noise they'll
realise that this is a badly missing feature and change it in a future
version.

Hope that helps...

Cheers, Matthias
