those in the picture are the only labels i have found on the black box of the Avalon. the one sticked on the box says IOP 85,4 mA BIAS 41,0 mA. theother one on the black cable says VLM, lop 85,4 mA, Align@ 72.20 mA. should i search for other labels?

at the printer where we bought the CTP from, the Avalon was used with LAP plates (silver) exposing them with the intensity value of 450. we tried to expose few violet plates (not violet silver) at different laser intensities (500, 550, 580 and 600) and they appear as if there is not enough laser...

hi, we just aquired a 2007 Avalon LF Silver, wich does not have such long working hours / plates exposed, but i think the UV laser head is almost to his life end due to bad operating and lack of service. does anyone have/know somewhere a Avalon UV head for replacement and at what cost? thank you

it's been 7 years this year since we own our CTP. only 3 interventions in this whole period, and no service contract: a condenser on the vacuum pump, one laser diode (out of 24) and the recirculation pump on the developer. total spent parts included: around 1200 eur / 7 years, i think it's...

When printing the PS file, try using the High Resolution option in Printing Options -> Advanced -> Transparency Flattener. It worked for me solving the same situation once. One problem you may have is the bigger size of the PS file.

please don not put any text or graphics at 1 mm from the cutting edge on a trifold or 16 pages saddle stitch and expect to have exactly 1 mm on the final product. oh ... and stop overprinting white objects

Green, you're so right. First time using it, took me 10 minutes to install, setup keys, paper and export PPF. ... oh, and te pressmen were satisfied (wich is like Santa coming to town :D)

Thank you all guys, solved the problem - alan's way. :D

Yes, i konow it works great, but i have to find a solution cheaper than 8000 - 10000 euros. And quick :(

hi Alan, can i send you one of my .PS files so you run it through PressPerCent and give me back the PPF file?

nope, we only have a scitex brisque RIP

Hi guys, Recently our printshop purchased a 2003 SM74, with prepress interface. Now my press operators ask me for CIP3/PPF files. Anyone can tell me what i need to / how can i produce this files? (except buying a Prinect station from Heidelberg) thanks

multumesc pentru confirmare. i'm relaxed now, as i was awaiting for your confirmation.

What exactly did you do? Hope that you will not damage the pump. i rotated the knob for one quarter.

My Brisque RIP does the same thing with black objects, even if they are not set to overprint in PDF or PS file. So i use two hotfolders: one with the riping option OVERPRINT set to ALL BLACKS and one with NONE.
