    HP is selling a module for its Indigo presses called EPM (Enhanced Productivity Mode) which converts a CMYK file to CMY at the RIP. It is not perfect but it does a surprisingly decent job.

    RIP MacWorld

    Sad. But it had become a shadow of its former self. I preferred MacUser to Macworld as MacUser provided more technical information on products.
