Hi,
I've got an Agfa Accuset 800 Plus, hooked up to a Mac G3 running a Viper RIP. I output to this primarily using a Mac G5 running OS X 10.4.11.
Since a couple of days ago, everything after the first job sent to the RIP/Imagesetter is printing "off-centre" - the centre bullets on the artwork are appear about 45mm in from the edge of the film, and anything to the right of this is "wrapping around" and being printed on the opposite edge.
Note that the FIRST job through after a cold reset outputs fine, it's only from the second job onwards that it screws up.
I've re-installed the printer and .ppd in the G5, but I'm pretty sure it's not at fault as I get the same result outputting from my old backup G4.
There's next to nothing I can find to adjust in the Viper RIP that would make any difference. I've checked the imagesetter settings, and run a left-margin test but everything seems fine. I even set the imagesetter to Center Capstan but that made no difference either.
Any ideas, anyone?
