If you have a Xante platemaker, and are using it corectly, you should have no problem. We have run that way exclusively for 15 years. Backgroung toner scater is always there, and can be rmoved by a good pate cleaner like LaserKleen EX

That can come from dampness in ther surface of the plate prior to imaging. Try a plate from the middle of the box, or store your plates in a dryer area. We had to include a packge of desicant in each box for a cutomer we had who was having the same problem a few years ago.

Re: older files from 1996 We have had to deal with some of these, some even older and all of which were certainly made by older versions of who knows what software. We have had to reuse an older computer that had older versions of PageMaker, Quark, Freehand, etc, and open the old files in...

Re: About Ryobi 582H It depends more upon what you call consistent high quality, and how skilled and patient your press operator is. This equipment may get you ahead of where you are now, but it won't make you competative with all the colour trade printers out there that print full colour work...

Re: Is There Any Way To Print 12 x 24 color, double-sided low quantity? I have an OKI that can do that size, heavy stock or coated paper is no problem. Where are you located? We get files by email and ship by UPS or Purolator.

Re: Digital Color Copier for small shop You should really take a good look at the OKI. At about 30 ppm, you get 1800 per hour, and your 15000 monthly volume would keep it busy for less than 9 hours. The quality is great, and if you learn to make the proper changes to the media settings, it can...

Re: Illustrator to PDF bolding issue That seems to be just a display issue with Acrobat. When you print the file, all of the text is fine, and if you zoom in on it, it eventually straigtens out.

Re: High Resolution for Print Do you understand what vector art really means? This is not generaly used in a discusion about dot resolution, because a computer doesn't use a bitmap or series of pixels to create vector art. As the term implies, it marks the starting point for the line or shape...

Re: What can I expect from copydot scans? Is there a better method? Whether or not you use "Copy dot", you will still require a complete version of Photoshop to achieve some of the gaols you have set for your project, and when you have mastered that, your Epson scanner may then be up to the task.

Re: High Resolution for Print Not to confuse you farther, but you are just short of grasping the meaning of some of the terms you are using. The line screen ruling is a choice independent of scanner resolution or output device resolution. You can take a halftone that you scanned at 300 dpi, and...

Re: Xante Illumina Question - Spotty Black Ink Coverage We have run with compatible toner for years with no toner issues, on a CL30, but we didn't buy it from the ebay vendor. We get it directly from Hong Kong.

Re: Help Trying to Learn. If you email me direct, I can give you a toll free phone number, and then we can discuss some of what you will need. [email protected]

Re: Quick solution to a scary PDF mess? ...help... Are you aware of the thousands of printers who depend upon Illustrator for changes to PDF's every day?

Old Chandler & Price with Kluge feeder Old Chandler & Price with Kluge feeder I have recently acquired a 12 x 18 C&P with a Kluge feeder and foil draw for foil stamping. I also need to do some short run die cutting, scorring & perforating from time to time. Does any one have any good...

Re: Need help on good quality business card printer We produce a heap of colour cards which most customers can't tell from offset, and we use an OKI 9500 Colour Laser printer. It handle up to 12 point, which is as heavy as we make them, 10 up on an 8.5 x 11, then guilotine cut. The printer is...
