I can somewhat see what your talking about but those scans are very poor and its hard to see any detail. Can you explain it a little more or give us some more readable scans? Where are you printing the reports from? The Reports Screen and Print button or an action and template?

PS: there is not a date set for V5 yet I know we keep saying it but all we can say is soon. I think @emre will be inviting a few more into the private beta test and then it should be shortly after that we will see a release announcement. But we have no real time frame sorry.
