and I believe at least three times I agreed that that was very likely, and that we were going to talk to the ink vendor. Most of my responses after have been in response to other people who were trying to help with other possible ideas. I also believe that Gordo was trying to show me why I...

Gordo that's PERFECT!! that will illustrate the problem WONDERFULLY! thank you so much!!

Laughing so hard right now!!!

ok, I could translate it fine, I was even able to pick out a few words on my own without the translation software. ;) The file and screen angles seem to be correct. The question was what could be causing the screen to fill in completely. On the first attempt, the 50% screen filled in to 100%...

Ulrich~ I think so? I'm sorry, your english is slightly hard to follow. if you look a few posts back, I have a screen shot of the plate TIF's from the problem area. it is a bubble graphic, so it's not a perfect negative dot fill, and not a 100% flood yellow, but there is some overlap between the...

I like to think I'm a little more observant than that.... I'm a techy, not a graphics person. case in point: I had a 3-Phase 300lb battery back-up in pieces on my floor last night so I could replace the batteries. Stupid things had swelled just enough that they were wedged in and I had to...

yes.... I'm a girl. I'm not a blonde though..... ;) I think I got a SUPER cheap one. Like $20. The software didn't work at all.

I'll look into getting one. I had gotten one before, but it ended up being a Chinese POS and couldn't focus on anything. discouraged me a bit I guess. and I WISH my operators had an interest in understanding that looking at the dots can usually tell you exactly what is going wrong. But they...

I think they were talking about trying that at the end of the day, but I can already tell you what's it's going to do.... it's going to look just fine. If it were a plate issue, I would be seeing it on more than one unit, I'd be seeing it on all. Also, we burned 3 different plates as I was...

I hope not despairing over me! ;) Over my pressmen, go right ahead. It's sad that one of them always brags of his 25+ years experience running press (actually, he was just mouthing off this morning about it) and I know more about ink, color theory, etc. than he does. As the Prepress manager, I...

No, they don't normally run at 100% water, which is why I was thinking that might be one of the problems. As far as saturated paper from the previous units, putting down the PMS last might also be a contributing factor. I think the wrong ink type is probably a part of it also. I'm going to...

wow... that is an amazing idea! and genius! I will have to do that. We do usually have everything set up RAID, but I've had that fail me a few times too. The "Catalog B Tree" started corrupting, but so slowly that the corruption was copied to the secondary drive. when it did fail, they were...

see photo. (found a fun trick with taking pictures through the loop with my phone.) This is a close up of the 40% screen area. While it is not 100% clear, the "dot" is not blurred out from the photo. there is NO DOT. Too much water? This is a 5-color job, but the only other color in this area...

oh, and the pressmen are telling me that they have the water full open. Could too much water cause this problem?

I have a question for you guys. Why would a spot color not be able to hold open a 50% screen? We have tried at 175 lpi and 200 lpi. Both plug up complete (looks like 100% with a waffle pattern). Plates are fine, I even tweaked the file to open it up to a 40% screen and they still can't keep...

I'm not sure what you are asking for? I'm not familiar with those model names.

Zombie~ I did get help from a couple different people. Thank you! Tashina

I have this ancient HP server that is dying on me. It runs the ridiculous light version of Apogee Printdrive so that it works like a TIF catcher for my Acento S CTP. It also uses a Xitron SCSI interface card to communicate with the CTP. Now the comp is dying, and I need to replace it before...

of course... because I asked... the 7880 died yesterday. i briefly brought it back to life, but the board is having a melt down... And yes, I know the 7900 has been discontinued. And, to make it worse, my RIP doesn't know when they are going to have the drivers to support the the new SureColor.

and it was a great experience!! Can't wait for next year!
