    How much electricity & UPS ???

    Check platesetter spec sheet regarding max current then add some 500-800 VA for the rip server. Your target will be a pure sinewave, double conversion UPS around 6 kVA. Do not, repeat, do not use standard line interactive ups units. The UPS will supply power to the ctp and rip server only. Make...

    banding issue on Agfa 8800MKIII with Eclipse plates

    I didn't have any major problems setting up Eclipse on Avalon / PTR platesetters including GLV machines, they do require more energy though. Bear in mind these are negative working plates i.e. laser writes the image. You are not supposed to see any banding in non printing areas as there's no...

    MAKO 46 intermittent distorted image

    There is a friction control built in the input cassette you can adjust to a certain degree, clean those friction pads and reassemble. The film must come out pretty tight but not 'very' tight. The shaft encoder basically never fails better don't touch it, drive motors fail quite often though...

    MAKO 46 intermittent distorted image

    Colin, O-rings should be all same size and tight enough to fit on the OD of bearings without buckling or waving around. Press each segment by hand to make sure they sit properly on their springs, all aligned and no ball bearing is seized. I have yet to see a damaged bearing on a multisegment...

    Newbie advice needed on Heidelberg Prosetter 74

    Negative. In several ways. That is, the answer is negative. You need negative plates i.e. photopolymer violet sensitive plates. Violet laser (405 nm) platesetters such as Prosetter can only expose plates having sensitivity better than 60 microJoules per sqcm (typical range is 40 to 55 µJ/cm2...

    The end of Violet CtP

    Hi gordo, most violet plate manufacturers have shrunk down their plate size range offering or even removed some plate types from their portfolios (i.e. ProV) because of low demand. Fujifilm has a strong presence in the UK (and Agfa to some extent), but I wonder why the article disregards other...

    Screen CTP

    Hagar_uk advice is spot on. Look for a 4300 or 4600 unit with low mileage and ask for a test.

    Grey Levels

    Aqazi, the number of available grey levels depends on the rip software your customer uses. You didn't mention what software it is. All modern 'super cell' screening solutions based on Adobe library or harlequin or else do minute changes to dot shape as gordo described already, we perceive this...

    Recommended Options for making Digital Film?

    As far as I know there is no technology remotely comparable to imagesetter film exposure to achieve ± 4 mil spec using sheet or roll fed substrates. Some of my customers had no option but move to DTS machines.
