Re: Printing Logos -- RPG400-L

Thanks for getting specific -- this is new to me.  But in looking at the
redbook Printing V, under Page Segment, all it says is that you can use AFP
Utilities/400 to create Page Segments.  Never having done either of these,
this is just a different way of doing it, yes?  Have you tried using the AFP
Utilities?  Is this an easier approach?
