Hello,
It has been awhile since i have posted.
So please, be patient
Heres my situation:
Currently we are running Creo's Workshop (v.3.0.3.1) and out put plates on a Trendsetter 800 II Quantum.
We Do not use a calibration curve on all plates output. [ with the exception of some UV jobs, then we apply a AM 5% Cutback to all the plates in that job ]
i have been given the task to create a new *plate* curve with a *15% cutback* for plating of UV jobs.
Up until now on some UV jobs we just selected the 5%-8% AM cutback option in Workshop, but there is no 15% cutback so this is where I assume I need to create a curve which automatically applies this cutback (that is when the plate maker selects the curve prior to plate output) but we normally do not use/apply a calibration curve to our plates (the option is set to : NONE)
I have the Harmony Users Manual in front of me and most of it sounds Greek to me.
So what I have now is:
We setup a Spectrum proofing curve earlier this year
Some Current Curve Data (from off a press sheet)
and I know the target we want to reach *the 15% cutback* but im unsure as of how to go about creating this curve with the data I have. (if its even possible)
Im thinking I need to take the current curve data
and knock it down 15% to create the new "target curve" and then use the current and our newly created target to achieve a new Calibration Curve we can use.
I find this interesting but quite confusing.
Any help would be appreciated.
Till then i will continue to read this manual and see what I can absorb.
Thanks
