I found this statement from a digital press hardware vendor:

"In order to optimize print quality, the Adobe Postscript RIP re-executes paintProc every time a form is used."

Is that true, or false?

My understanding (which has been wrong before!) was that Adobe left it up to the vendor to implement form caching. That is a slightly different statement than the quote above.
