Re: Mutiple screening on coupons
If you have a positive plate, and a Kodak Trendsetter, you could double burn your plates like you used to do with film. We will guarantee registration, even if the plate came from another Trendsetter. That avoids the software route, if you want similar functionality. Some of the cool features on the thousands of these workhorses was the accuracy of the registration, temperature compensation, and lack of need to calibrate the head, so you could trust it in scenarios like these.
I wonder how many other vendors get nervous at that suggestion on their machines for regular production since it appears everyone and their dog can do in software. You also could look into the Traceless technology from Kodak that allows sub-microscopic taggents to be put into the substrate, the ink, whatever and allow for it to be scanned later to determine its validity.
Good luck.
