We have a Presstek Dimension excel, had it for close to 12 years now. The lasers are getting old, and it needs to be adjusted constantly. We were running the presstek anthem plates, but are in the first days of our switch to the kodak sonora plates. Some bugs to work out, but seems like a much better plate. Anyways, my real question is how often do you have to adjust laser settings in your ctps? Been battling serious banding and dirty plates for a while now. Hoping that is mostly gone with these new plates, but worried this will be an ongoing problem. We battle through it, but if I was to work on this, I would be calibrating and adjusting everyday to try and keep things level. Now this is an older machine, I am wondering how the newer/new units are for stability in this regard? No idea really what is out there other then Screen which I have seen mentioned a few times.
At the moment just trying to get a better understanding on what is out there and how well they operate, as in very little maintenance needed.
