Aandi,

It isn't a programming issue, per se. At issue is the claim that Adobe's RIPs (CPSI in particular) do not support caching in regard to PostScript language forms, and that users must therefore rely on this manufacturer's "special software" to accomplish the task.

As you say, a performance issue. I don't believe the claim is true, and that users can safely purchase any RIP that uses the CPSI, and use good plain PostScript, and that the combination will be performant. Specifically, that all Adobe RIPs, software or hardware, do indeed cache forms for higher performance.

Now it is very possible that the CPSI has a large section with the instruction to "insert form caching code here". But I hardly think so! I'd like to know, before I start making unfounded claims of my own.
