M@CK FANTASTIC!! Thanks mate! Have a good one!

M@CK gordo, Yes we mix in house. Okay. please confirm if I am hearing this correctly. I take PMS427 and use that as my base. I then overlay screens of PMS428 and 429 on top. I will have to use my digital preview to get the best estimate for my screens. Then during prepress, I will not perform...

M@CK, If printed using the PMS colors only, then no, they are not set to be screened. They are 100%. I did do a RIP test preview to see if I knocked back the colors to 80 or 90%, considering dot gain would fill it back to 100% but the preview still gives me a significant stroke, therefore I...

gordo, I have considered this, but with all three colors being PMS I was fearful of the outcome. I felt one screen overlay would have more control than three. Especially when I considered repeatability. I have proposed this idea to the customer and told them we could run another press test, but...

I have added images of what I have so far. 1 is a screenshot of the original pattern. 1 is a screenshot of the trapping And 1 is a PDF showing the comparison by the customer. But unfortunately, the comparison is only a screenshot vs. print.

Good Day, I am a flexo graphics coordinator. 90% of our work is linework and some screenwork. Sometimes we will get process print jobs, but not a whole lot. I have a customer that wants a camouflage pattern on their product. The design sent to me has the pattern in 3 separate GREY PMS colors...

Thanks to all. What I ended up doing was getting 8.5x11 films from Ryonet and purchased a WF-7620. This does exactly what I need. To be able to print small slug-ins for our print production. The prints are dense enough for our exposure unit to produce plates. In the end, turns out my two big...

Scratch that... Looks like what Repro_Pro suggested will fit into our budget. Now I just need to research if this will actually do the job. Thanks all.

Tim-Ellis, This works just fine. for our large films. What I am looking for is a smaller desktop printer that will do the same job on an 8.5x11" film so that we do not have to waste 44" for one small slug-in. Similar to what Repro_Pro suggested. But the machine Repro_Pro mentioned is a bit too...

Just tried it. It doesn't print dense enough. I even adjusted some print settings to try and get a darker print and nothing.

I have not. Let me give that a shot. Thanks, Gordo.

Good Day All, As the title says, I am looking for a desktop printer to print films for Plate exposure. We have a large format Epson Stylus Pros – 9700, in which we use to output films to make flexo plates. We have to slug in very small items onto our plates during the tubing process. This...

Thank you all for your responses I will consider this and any new information I receive to pass on to my company.

Yes, I forgot to mention it is Flexographic. And yes, I have heard that we save on being able to reuse reclaimed resin. Although, when I first started looking into CTP was when our reclaim unit went down and we have yet to get anyone to come in and service it. I figured with the money we spend...

Sorry, I’m not a full professional. I don’t know all the specs, options and nomenclature for Platemaking. This is just a job that was kind of put on me and I just want to see how far I can go with it. We currently have a process of using photopolymer resin to create plates of sizes up to 30x48...
