Has nothing to do with the plate itself, these appear to be scratches down to bare aluminium and holding ink during printing. Look for whatever can cause such mechanical abrasion during plate mounting or press run. Does it come up on all colour units if several ? In same place ? I agree with...

You must get an Agfa specialist on site for this, look into neighbouring countries. The firmware update procedure is a lot more complicated than just downloading one package setup into the machine. There are several firmware components for various boards and versions refer to specific hardware...

Not a trivial thing to do, he can easily mess up the carriage. Described as regular pattern across all image looks more like imaging artifacts, exposure head setup is the prime suspect.

Do you have the original transit fixings ?

ctptech, azura thermofuse plates TE, TS, TU are all negative working, laser writes the image. Recording head alignment is required as 'mud' said and laser exposure energy checked.

Positive or negative plates ?

Ratio, long axis vs. short. Basically describes how elongated is the dot.

Gordo I personally wouldn't trust this source of information... a blog of unknown origin with a handful of mostly anti-american articles going back to February 2022 and a link to russia today with an expired website certificate on top of all smells like propaganda from a mile away.

Might be a better idea to look for an inkjet printer able to run decent resolution on transparent (polyester, mylar) substrates so you can obtain a reasonable quality mask ...

The internal rip has an APIS 37-pin interface, a Centronics parallel 18 pin interface, Ethernet 15-pin, a serial comm DB25 and an AppleTalk old-style 15 pin RS422. You must connect an ethernet trasceiver to RG coax 75-ohms terminated or UTP 10Base-T and check if it responds from an old Mac...

Hi there check fuses F1 and F2. Check wiring going to gum level sensor in the external container, broken wire or cable chaffed.

Mac only but shouldn't be a problem to buy a used mac mini like I did, install a 10.10 or 10.11 OS and you're good to go. PPCent is good for processing CMYK jobs.

Insufficient vacuum, worn out suction cup(s), air leak somewhere or vacuum sensor incorrect adjustment. Most likely first or 2-nd from this list.

vance, you have a PM

vance, what topsetter model, year and what configuration is it.

Dongles are fine you just ended up replacing a working dongle driver with another version of driver. Uninstall the harlequin then reinstall the sentinel driver for the shooter (look for dongle driver setup inside the Heidelberg setup package). Or revert/roll-back driver if possible from Windows...

All quartz-III owners I know use whatever moleton sleeve they can find at local offset materials suppliers, make sure you order rolls at correct diameter I believe it's 60 mm IIRC. Since not all materials are the same and some may flatten out sooner than others, replace at every other chemistry...

Printing with zero alcohol is more difficult. Follow the above posts, if still having problems try adding 2 percent IPA and run a test print again, this essentially rules out the plate if toning goes away. Background toning on plate in non-printing areas coming from residue coating or polymer...
