Form Cache
What is the form cache? What options can I adjust with respect to the form cache?
The form cache is an amount of RAM set aside to hold images that the document references during execution. The cache
improves performance by providing faster access to images that the document uses more than once.
The size of the cache and the order in which the document executes the images determine the contents of the cache at any
given point in time. As the cache fills, the printer may have to remove images to make room for the most recent image. When
it must remove an image, the printer removes the least recently referenced one.
In PlanetPress Design, you can set both the size of the printer form cache and the maximum size of an individual cache item.
You can set these options for all documents that execute on the printer.
When you set the cache options, you should know that the images in the cache have already undergone part of the ras-
terization process and that this may have increased their size, sometimes quite substantially. Since this difference in size
depends on the individual image the best approach for determining appropriate values for the cache options is empirical: if doc-
ument execution is slow, adjust the value and see if performance improves.

Remove Background Color
In the Color Picker, a new option called Remove background color is available with the CMYK color model.
The main purpose of this feature is to reduce the amount of colored ink used by the printer.
Bear in mind that this option will modify the colors as they come out at the printer. Also note that colors on the printed page
may differ depending on various factors, such as the color itself, the printer and the paper.
