The ( re ) sell value of a SupraSetter lays in the lasers. I've serviced Suse's with 300 k m2 on their counter, without ever having an issue on their laser. It is also depending on our relationship with your distributor: I've replaced lasers, ant the shop owner would pay them in time with a...

For this sort of work the SupraSetter A type was develloped. Start with the basic model, if business grows you still can go for the automation. ( It is an option that can be installed afterwards ) The same story on the dual cassette system...

What type of Supra is it ? -> An A has only 1 laser, there you not see any difference, on the 74 or 105 models you can have up to 6 lasers..( But that's besides the question ). Laser of supasetters ( normally ) don't have to be changed for life time reasons.( there can be problems, of course)...

Hi, are you sure you want to punch a 105 plate by hand ? Your printer probably won`t be happy...you might be facing a lot of register problems., or people trying to win time and punching 2 or 4 plates in 1 time...oh yes, it goes....but then they start to complain about scratches... ( been...

Could be of course, but if you hold the switch manually, does the pump keep pumping? If not, then it`s the pump, otherwise it is something else.. Good luck :-)

Try to clean the input sensor, I think it is not completely tilted when the plate enters the machine.. There is no replenishing in a clean out...have to checked the filter under the basin? The black 'thing ' -> there s a filter inside..might be filled with dirt, can be cleaned with water.. Good...

Might sound dumb...what type of cpt are you using ? Particels of oil in the compressed could be a reason for "small " dots... Where the oil spots are on the plate-> no laser -> no image... Ofcourse...it just a suggestion...

I think there already written a lot about it...for some it works and they don't want anything else anymore...other came saw, tested...and bought a clean out unit :-) It also depends on the ( moisturing system )of you press.... I had some accounts that where very happy with them...

What I can recommend...for everyone who would like to read something on graphics...( I don't want it to sound as a commercial for a brand or so) just because it is so complete...-> The Handbook of Printmedia by Helmut Kipphan. ( ISBN 3-540-67326-1) I know that it is printed in German and...

Give me a few days, and please let me know a serial number..I don't promise anything..talk to some ex colleagues..

Have you tried on their website ( where are you, witch country, distribution channel ).. I might have one in my garage ( no, that is not true..I only have an old 32 LDA :-) ) I still have some contacts there...used to be a service engineer on Xeikon presses..

Sorry I saw you post to late...the power to expose the plate is defined by the type of flashing unit. I have some data for Heidelberg equipment and Kodak plates.. Give me some more details and I will try to find out...

With what kind of exposing unit ? At this moment we do Kodak Sonora @ 500 rpm on a SupraSetter A type ( GEN II ) I don't know by heart, but it should something close to the Pro T.. ( 8 up = 74 format ?)

I don't have any benefits by Kodak ( or Fuji, or anything else :-) )...maybe we should more go into the terms we 're using...Your right on the fact that there is no " development ", the plate is " washed, processed, cleaned " on the press by means of ink and fountian solution -> non flashed/ non...

I'm sorry, I might have not made myself clear enough, with random jobs, I was thinking about different linearisation, 175 lines, 200 lines, 4 color jobs, pms inkt... a long run, low coverage, high coverage That sort of things... I don't want to go into to comparing a plate with a visit to the...
