Loosing Image (Maya Processor)

[Sammy777]

Happy New Year to all, I trust you all had a good one? Now back to work to try and fix our machines

We've since recently discovered that the source to the lines we're getting is in fact from the processor.. The brush rollers in the developer bath have definitive lines from the brissles, (you can actually see the lines in the ripple effect in the bath..) most probably due to wear? Or are they supposed to be like that?

My only idea would be to actually replace these rollers? But we cant seem to find a source for ordering more in South Africa.. Would there be any other options to ry get around this issue without having to replace the rollers?

Yep, dev brushes need to be replaced every 1.5-2 years depending on usage especially if using multiple plate formats - small plates come out aligned in the same position from the online ctp and wear the brushes so that larger plates will eventually get a vertical line/band in the image. Stop the processor and pass your hand across the brushes, if you feel the smallest threshold at some point they're gone. Don't waste time trying to increase the brush pressure to compensate. We always order replacement brushes from Heights price is very good about a third of Glunz price for raptors.
