samllest plate size - GalileoVS8 & LP82

[RVNG]

Would anyone know what the smallest plate size is that you can run through a GalileoVS8 w/ the LP82 processor? Also, does running 8up plates and smaller plates create problems with the processor?

thanks

Are you banned at google?
Just type: agfa galileo ctp minimum plate size
Minimal size plates create problems at L-bridge when they leave the Galileo crooked, and one plate's edge comes under red belt.
The system manages 8-up plates fairly well.

RVNG:

Assuming you are using the configuration manual feed, on-line processing, and with UPC the plate-turner:
17.72 x 11.5" (450 x 292 mm)

If you are working manual feed, off line processing, then:
15.7 x 11.5" (400 x 292mm)

If you are using the Automated Platemanager - then the smallest plate handled regardless is:
17.72 x 14.5" (450 x 368 mm)

Thanks Steve and VladCanada for your responses.
I must say, it is really nice to access a reliable source or information and insight from the combined efforts of everyone on this forum. Viva communication.
