I am the proud owner of a working Linotype-Hell TOPAZ Scanner and an OS 9.5 Mac tower. I have all the software for the scanner and it works?
Here is the deal, I live in Las Vegas and am moving later this year. I have retired from the Printing/Color management business so I have no more use for...
Tried pretty much every trick I remember. I was hoping one of the Hell/Heidelberg "engineers" would see this and give me a shout out. Thanks for the reply.
I have an original TOPAZ scanner. Just placed new bulbs in to it. now have an error message: "20015c AOAE (TOPAZ Scanner) Reflective lamp is used without control.During the next 15 minute break, the control will be adjusted. Warning, click <OK> to continue.
I have left the scanner alone for...
Had the same problem years ago, the reading is usually made of the color and the scratches are made as the head moves on. Just can't re-read the patches. Try the profile and see.

If all you want is a great "scan" then Linocolor 4.2.7 will work. When this software first existed, Photoshop was not what it is today. Just Scan your "tiffs" to LAb or RGB. Convert them to Adobe1998rgb.icc and you will be happ to have the quality in...

Yes the lin numbers can be manipulated or you can use the press numbers. One way or the other you must get the imagesetter to produce a darker dot in the highlight area or you will not be able to reproduce it at the press.
Congratulations on ALL your assumptions! Let me know how they all work out for you. As I found out a few years back, Hex color places you in a "no man's land" of tech support. You are on your own. It can be done, done well, but that is what makes some Professionals better than others. You will...

Must adjust your entry numbers for the computer to give you the "highlight" dots you want. You may have to adjust the ramp of numbers two or three times to get what you want. Watch your "shadow" area too so it does...

Are you going to make proofs or is this for a press run? The "link profile" whiled attempting to make one thing print like another leaves a lot to be desired. You may find that adjusting a flex profile to VISUALLY represent the output of the FOGRA 39 profile will be better. Depending on the flex...

Greetings hal,
Well you have quite the problem. The usual things to suspect seem to be the things you have already checked. The paper may be different. Sometime suppliers will change the makeup of their paper or their vendor which they buy from and not let...

Yes, following the directions of someone who only knows one way to do things can be frustrating. Does your company have production Meetings? If so, come up with a "total analysis" of one of the failed jobs. Show the things that went wrong, where thay went wrong and why they...
If the problem seems to move around or get worse, look for droplets of ink on the paper too. This could mean that there is a clump of dust riding on the print head or on the wiper blade. If you have been using this printer for two or three years on a daily basis (8 or more hours a day) you may...
