Please include the type of CTP device you use and full description of the problem - there are many configurations - MPE- MCE- GMCE- all different. I advise you to keep your IT away from the box as firewall, antivirus, domain policies and certain software products may interfere with the...

some additional questions - the replacement distribution board was it new from kodak? Did you check the fuses and voltages on it? Are the power supplies good? Do you see any lights on the L3 when you turn the power on? Did you touch the serial connectors at the back of Ebox at any point?

With the bypass on, put the roller detector and valve on screen - actuate the roller a few times and see if it moves properly. Most probably the problem is with the cylinder, moving too slow. You can send me a PM for more details

From the picture you attached it seems to be either a plate loading problem, emulsion damage or focus actuator issue. The laser can only compensate for aprox 5-600 microns. Load a plate and make sure there is no bubble in that area. Also try to decrease the roller pressure if you run sensitive...

This is an older thread and I suppose you fixed your problem by now. I am just posting this for eventual viewers. The problem in the pictures you attached does not have anything to do with the laser/diodes/LDD. It is a data problem caused software/TSP/DDB, causing line artifacts, image...

Using Hot Folder setup - select the HF, go in edit-> modify, next, modify - in the template menu click lower left "Options" button and uncheck the options to"remove job from queue" and "delete input files" for successful or failed. This will keep the jobs in the queues and allow you to resend...

No - the power supply will not cause this problem.

FYI, Tiff output option was in Print Console up to 3.x versions. For Print Console 4.x the tiff license has been moved to Evo. It means Evo can accept 1-bit Tiff files and stream them to Print Console/ Trendsetter

A Trendsetter can never "warp" a plate, period. Image may be crooked, shifted, scaled, out of registration, with banding, etc. but not warped.

My view is that lean manufacturinq is a stupidity. It inherently leads to a loss of quality. It is a concept generally used to increase temporarily the profitability at the cost of employee and customer frustration and finally market share loss. Thinking that Toyota success is based on this is a...

Re: Kodak vs. Fuji plates Brisque/Lotem are ex-Scitex products, they were just branded Creo after the aquisition. All old Scitex machines used fiber optics heads with much lower image quality and speed compared to Creo- based machines. They were popular among small shops with low volume. Only...

Re: FM screening lines front to back of plate for all out there unsure about their lines on plates using Kodak/Creo Thermal heads. Laser banding means parallel lines on plates that run around drum. They are 2.24mm apart (224 beamsx10microns). Anything different is not caused by the laser. In...

Re: Screen Javelin 8600 or Kodak Magnus 800? What would you choose? beermonster, ....take a look at a Staccatto10 image, and let me know if you maintain your position. As far as I know, nothing else can get close. For most people, I suppose SquareSpot won't make a difference. Only if you run...

Re: Kodak vs. Fuji plates I can understand comments about Fuji vs Kodak plates where experiences are very different. But about speed? throughput??? Get serious... People asking opinions here should be aware that most purchasing advices are coming from biased dealers. I can understand they are...

Re: Cleaning hot spots on kodak thermal plates Once again, Hot spots on Magnus400 (fiber head) are only due to bad plate attachement to the drum. If most of the plate looks good, the laser adjustment is fine - this machine has a static focus mechanism (no dynamic focus) This can be caused by...

Re: Fastest CTP The above posts I suppose are just jokes.... Fastest Magnus800 (X speed) makes only 40pph (plates/hour). The 60pph version (Z speed) is not yet available Fastest 8-up CTP on the market I know is Trendsetter News200 which has 2xTH2 Creo lasers. Max plate size 1118x838 (83pph)...

Re: Kodak Thermal Direct Plates in Australia Looks like you may have an exposure issue. On this plate it's tricky to set the right laser intensity. I suggest you to raise this issue with Kodak support.

Re: 3244 to Spectrum (40W head) From what I know this upgrade is not available anymore (probably competing with Approval). Very few spectrums are being built now - mostly refurbished. It used to be expensive - beside the proof loading section, involves a specially tuned laser and a vacuum pump...

Re: Screen Vs Magnus John is inquiring about Magnus 800 MCU... Magnus 400 and Magnus 800 are 2 completely different machines. Magnus 400 is basically the old Lotem 400 with a new fiber optics system. Magnus 400 Quantum is the same, but it has a Creo laser inside (TH2 - Quantum). Magnus 800...

Re: Error on Thermal head of Trendsetter The question is pretty old and I suppose you already have it fixed by now. The obivous reason of this error is either temperature or humidity too high inside the laser head. If temperature is the reason there isn't very much to do. If you have an...
