    Agfa Azura rinse gum unit problems

    May be time for a good cleaning including circulation pumps, plastic pipes, drains and all. Put everything together, run without filter, fill with water and make sure it circulates properly. If there's a spraybar in the dev section make sure you clean its holes with a toothpick at every...

    backlit media color management

    My two cents worth, this is an oxymoron. I don't think there's a way to control the backlight and/or ambient illumination to justify an attempt to create a color profile. But I may be wrong.

    Film has different density from lead to tail edge

    You won't see much with 10%. Do a 50% grey test (or even 80) full area as advised because it will (mosy likely) rip as 45 degrees making artifacts more visible. Did you check the processor ? Just asking why do you measure density instead of percentage ? I have processed the picture you sent...

    Film has different density from lead to tail edge

    One more thing I've seen old film processors with worn out rollers and bushings unable to pull film smoothly, you may need to check dev section rollers and gears moving easily driven by hand. Again, the uniformity test I described will tell the drive system condition, look for banding and...

    Film has different density from lead to tail edge

    New chemistry does not rule out the processor. Make sure you use the correct developer and parameters are checked - temperature stability, machine speed and recirculation pump condition being the most important. Expose a 50 percent raster rectangle full size to test uniformity ; cut, process...

    Saving a PPF (CIP3) file to a Heidelberg memory card

    If your press console runs Windows and can browse the hard disk and attached drives, are you able to read anything from that card ? If you see any files in file manager or explorer with names ending with .ppf but they don't come up in your working interface it is possible the PPF files are bad...

    CTP developer

    It's not about what others prefer. The plate processor you need must be suitable for the ctp you have already (or intend to buy) in terms of plate type being used, plate maximum width, speed, plate entry height, serial communication if needed. Once technical matters sorted you will choose the...

    Accuset 800 requirements

    I don't know about viper 3 but ADB dongles for old harlequins cannot be ported to G4 and above macs as security drivers ask for direct connection to the ADB bus. USB to ADB adapters don't work. Beige G3 platforms were the last compatible in the line. Just a thought.
