DiscontinuedCleanPrint seems to be discontinued at this time (June 18, 2018). The page to download/install the aplet loads slooowly and then doesn't work properly, and the company & contact phone numbers listed by FormatDynamics are "not in service at this time." Sad, because when CP was working it was good.
