This is a duplicate of Bug 692618. I am starting work on this problem. The solution will roughly be to add high level encoding/decoding of DeviceN source colors into the clist along with the addition of a planar buffer for the separation devices so that we can maintain all the planes of data and not be limited with mem64 chunky buffers *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 692618 ***
