    Missing lines on plate.

    Are the lines vertical or horizontal? Positive or negative plates? Can you provide a picture? If the lines run around the drum it may be banding or a stuck pixel - however 1/32 apart will contradict this unless your laser has a considerable number of pixels chopped or is overwritting. Horizontal...

    Creo Thermal head hours reset?

    Is it about TH1.x or TH2.x? Are these lasers from Kodak? As far as I know, the diodes in these lasers cannot be replicated at least not at the same quality because it would be too complicated and expensive for a company with limited resources. I also have doubts about the light valve. I know...

    Magnus Problem - URGENT

    If you only need one plate - turn the system off and let it sit for 30 minutes to allow the laser to cool down. If you have AC try to lower the temperature as much as possible in the room. Then turn it back on and try to send the job immediately after it goes in ready.. Repeat the above for the...

    how the CtP exposure head to expose 1-bit tiff on the plate

    Every plate has its own specification with regards to the requested laser power on plate to be able to trigger the polymerization process in the emulsion. Each machine has its own settings to achieve these exposure requirements based on the laser intensity and drum or spinner speed

    lotem800v 24laserhead_laser error

    ok - so you found that the issue is with one of the LDD boards - Next step is to isolate it. Leave 12-23 and 6-11 connected, disconnect 0-5 and test - if it passes the problem is with one of these, if it fails - problem is in 6-11. Keep dividing by 2 until you isolate the bad LDD board. Once you...

    lotem800v 24laserhead_laser error

    Adjust the carriage position for light detector back and forth a few mm in 0.5mm steps. Remember to reset diodes every time. Monitor the voltages while you perform calibration and see if you notice a sudden drop. If you notice a drop, start disconnecting the LDD's. You said you replaced DDB and...

    lotem800v 24laserhead_laser error

    kala, set the +5v to +5.2v, and 12v to 12.5v the -5v goes to LDD and the +5v to DDB, LDD and TEC. Monitor the voltage while performing laser calibration - make sure you reset the diodes after each failure and the registry values are 0-23. Try calibrating for lower values - 50mw. Adjust the laser...

    lotem800v 24laserhead_laser error

    Kala, you're right about ddb and breaker. I missed it in your earlier post. When you replace the Light Detector you will need to update the LD factor Pach is talking about - both Low and High DAC Factor under Local3/LDT with the value from the new Light Detector. One thing to try though is to...

    Performance reduced Laser Lotem 800

    Did you clean the lens protector and reset diodes? In Laser group hit "reset diodes" and do a calibration for 50mw, then try a calibration for the power listed in res/int table that you use. If diodes are failing calibration at the requested power, find the highest value that passes...

    1 bit Tiff problem

    Tiff Assembler Plus can do this but I've never seen it used and I cannot comment on results. Since it's a software used mainly in packaging where screening angles and resolutions are critical, I think it will meet your needs but you may want to get confirmation from people that used this feature.

    Brisque Server Alternative

    Try to find components for a Brisque - AIX system. I see a full one here but it seems too expensive @1k: Creo Scitex Kodak Brisque 4 Impose RIP running Version 5 software | eBay A better option is to look for specific parts for your box - for example here is what you can find on ebay for a 43P...

    Screen vs. Trendsetter - Which is better?

    Farshad, I will say this again for you and everyone else as I've seen this confusion on many threads and forums: All Trendsetters settings can be accessed, including here the newest ones based on GMCE architecture, without a service dongle and without Service Shell. Only the settings set in the...

    Screen vs. Trendsetter - Which is better?

    I'm glad I made things a bit more clear for you. Regarding your remarks to my personal profile I chose not to comment. I just want to make it clear for anyone on this forum that I post here only to help people with technical issues and give them a better understanding of Creo/Scitex/Kodak...

    Screen vs. Trendsetter - Which is better?

    Farshad, you do not know enough about Trendsetters and you are misleading the people on this forum. I wonder how can you provide service on these machines when you have no idea about how they work. I would advice anyone against allowing a freelancer without previous Creo/Kodak training and...

    Kodak XPO for Lotem 400V

    The Xpo installation contains the TSP driver (shows as nsp under system devices) Besides Xpo, you will need a license to be able to send 1-bit TIFFs to the Lotem, unless the files are from Brisque or Prinergy.

    any idea about prinergy + XPO

    In Xpo preferences change it from abort to continue if image size exceeds plate size and increase the threshold

    Moving Trendsetter to the new location

    Just lock the carriage/laser with some packing foam, move it gently avoiding shocks and it should be fine.

    lotem expose error

    Try cleaning the lens protector first. You may have a bad diode 13 - try calibrating diodes increasing the power and see where it starts failing. Then reduce the laser power for your vinsak plates below that level set the drum speed proportionally to maintain the same power on plate. The diode...
