I know this may be a long shot, but does anyone know how I could check the filter, focus and\or intensity of the Herk using Navigator RIP? We used to run Delta and it had a utility for outputting the various tests to check these but now on Navigator I don't see a way to do that?
How can I check to see if these settings we started with 2 years ago are still optimum?
We're having trouble with large gains from film to plate, 12 to 14 points at 50%. Light, vacuum times, etc. check out as okay but burn a Ugra scale and a calibration film that came with our densitometer and we don't get that kind of gain, 5-6%, so it seems to point back to our film. Same film and chemistry we've ran for at least a couple of years now. Was getting around 8 gain earlier this summer but now it's consistently in the 12-14 range. Very consistent though, all our films measure only 1-2 points off what they should be.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Terry
