If you are using Win 2K, you will have to use the 3GB Switch in the boot.ini file to have the RIP utilize more memory.

The hardware is not going to effect the separations. How are they not separating correctly?

That would be with WinXP Pro.

We have set up several new RIPs with that configuration. As long as you have Service Pac 3 installed to make sure the Applications are using 3GB of the RAM, then it is going to go as fast as it can. Depending on the complexity of the jobs, the Trapping time will of course vary, but we have...

You named all the big boys that you have looked at and I'm sure you are shocked at the price tag. What output device do you have currently and what if any do you plan on getting in the future. These are very important questions that you need to look at before you decide on a Workflow. As an...

If you don't turn on to override angles on the RIP, you can make them anything you want and it may not have any effect. The only answer is that there is line screen information that is embedded i the CT. Set the angles that you want on the RIP and check the box to override the angels. You...

Sounds like you don't have your color space set up properly. When did you do the upgrade? Was it on the same PC (probably not)? Do you still have the old RIP PC around? All of the files for the RIP are text files and can be utilized to make sure you have the same settings for the new RIP as...

Good News, sort of...... Hopefully this little scare of being down with an old RIP will help you to convince the Lords of Finance to upgrade to a new system. Better to do it because you need to for compatibility with today's software than to have to rush because you are down....

Is the Color Space set to override angles? Are you specifying particular angles that you are not getting, or do you want the default angles of the RIP?

Who did you buy the RIP from? You should be utilizing your dealer chain for resolution if at all possible. They have a direct link to tech support if they need assistance in helping you with any issues...

I agree that it may work for a temporary solution, but as we all know, those temporary solutions will not be temporary if he can get it up and running until the next time it crashes. Now is the best time to condemn the box and upgrade. If should be well off the books, and now is the time to...

Toronar is correct with the advice. We have found that setting the TrapPro to Automatic seems to work the best for all things. I don't know who you spoke to at Xitron, but that is not an acceptable response.

"It's better to spend some time and reinstall WinNT and Taipan SW from the scratch." Why would this be better? Restricting yourself to an old RIP is anything but productive...

You should use the internal test to determine the exposure and then the RIP for a curve if necessary. With the internal test, look at the 50% block after you have over a 4.0 DMax. Read the 50% going in both directions. You should find that there are several that read the same. Select the...

If you have been pounding the RIP for awhile, you may want to defrag the hard drive. The newer computers have large enough drives that this should not be a problem, but it won't hurt. Also check to see how the virtual memory is set. Even if you have 3 to 4GB of RAM, XP seems to want to set...

What are the specs. of your RIP box? If you have a newer PC with 4GB of RAM, have you added the switch ( /3GB /USERVA = 3030 ) to the Boot.ini file to allow the RIP to use 3GB of the RAM for the application? You can also install Service Pac 3 to accomplish the same thing. Look at the...

To suggest that you go thermal would be a mistake for a small shop with small short run presses. The user maintenance on the processor for Violet is not bad at all with the Kodak plates as long as you do what is recommended. "Chemistry Free" Violet is going to be coming soon as well, so the...

Good points Lukas. Too many companies go with a "popular" system which may or may not be the right choice for them. Thorough research should be completed with all current and future needs addressed before deciding on which Workflow to purchase. This includes weeding out all of the sales BS...

Xitron has their facility in Ann Arbor MI. They will also do a WebX demo with the customer provided files. We have used this resource many times with great results.

rferjo, The control panel on the AccuSet does not control the resolution, the RIP does. The control panel only lets you cycle through to set the exposure, which by the way if you had a Harlequin RIP, the RIP would also control the exposure. The AccuSet defaults to 1200 dpi on boot up, so you...
