Chris, It appears that the dropping back of the X&Y postscript positions only effects PICA and Points. The value will not change if you have inches or CM as your measurement system. This would effect output to a desktop printer, but I am surprised you must use 1pica5 as an offset…that is a larger amount. The only time I specify an offset is if I use the manual feed on my printer and not the paper bin. The NEC-890 paper path has a difference of about 2-3 points difference between the two feed methods. It should not be so apparent when going to lino…normally such a large area is provided for the OutPut page size and the reg/crop marks are relative to the page regardless of offset. It has now been reported. Philip Laitar Supervisor
