MYSTERIOUS GRAY BACKGROUND

[Bill]

This means that the gray background color is somehow in revolution itself as
it shows through when I tell the background of the stack to be clear and is
white when I tell the bg of the stack to be white. So there must be some
setting in RunRev like a preference where you can tell it that gray is not
an appropriate color? Or perhaps this is in the docs as a feature?

PS It must be a feature or other people that have tried printing cards would
complain...
