This imagesetter's main function to produce films for burning screens used on our automatic silk screen press.
For some reason nearly every time I print to this machine it crashes in the last stages of imaging the film. The RIP for this machine is running OS9 and PantherRip, files are sent from ID4 and Quark 8 on a G5 running Leopard, could this be a communication error?
It seems as though changing the print settings themselves in Q8 and ID4 make no difference so It doesn't appear as though I'm outputting incorrectly as OCCASIONALLY it runs just fine after a number of reboots of the RIP and the imagesetter.
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated as PrePress Solutions Inc no longer exist and I have yet to find an imagesetter tech who's willing to help.
Do not do anything with computer like rotating the file while imaging. I guess Rip Cable has to be checked. Try another cable if you have one.
If I understand well the page never ends imaging process, do you receive any error at the rip or at the panther? If you develop the film, how it looks the image, it ends with garbage? The borders of the image look fine or look distorted? The problem is the same if you print just a small 50% screen?
