Harliquin Rip 8.3 stretching images vertrically

[liskeyprinting]

We have upgraded to the Harliquin 8.3 version and did a test strip of 1/4" lines horizontally and vertically. Horizontally they were dead on vertically the lines streched farther and farther apart as you went to the tail edge of the plate. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it.

We ripped it on the 8.3 version and dropped it into the 1 bit tiff folder and thats is where its stretching. It rips fine, we ripped it in 8.3 and took it back to our older harliquin rip and dropped it into that 1 bit tiff and it was fine.

This is ludicrous. A rip such as harlequin will not perform any sort of image manipulation except applying usual attributes unless such instructions reside in the postscript code of the incoming file. It may be just a coincidence, your output device linearity may have changed. Have you noticed any distortions in roam ? If you have pdf-raster and/or proofready plug ins enabled use them to double check output. Does your 1-bit tiff catcher software offer a preview ? Can you output the tiffs to another device ? Can you inspect these tiff files in a tiff viewer ?

You've got a setting wrong. How did you move you're page setups from the old rip to the new one? When you refer to the 1 bit tiff folder, is it feeding a tiff catcher or a hotfolder for the Harlequin? Do the 1 bit tiff folders connect to the same machine with the same settings?

I checked the 1 bit tiff and it is correct i am now thinking its gotr something to do with the agfa gallileo some how stretching the image but its strange because we are processing plates that are correct from the old Harliquin Rip version 7.2.

check the 8.2 plugin correct version or not ; whether it supports gallileo...
