    Problem with halftone screens

    We have moved from HND to HNS ourselves with no noticeable changes in image quality. There was a period of weeks we had both types at the same time in different film widths cassettes in our Dolev 800, but we noticed no difference in image quality between jobs ran on either, so from my standpoint...

    Agfa Exposure test - shadow on film

    This picture doesn't clearly show what exactly is the problem. It seems to show a lot of unnecessary light reflections. But, if you refer to a large "stain" in the middle, my guess is that your vacuum didn't hold the film flat on the drum surface during exposure.

    Alternative to high resolution imagesetting

    "I have to maintain a daisy chained mac network of older machines..." Converting old computers into Virtual Machines lets us keep our seldom needed out-of-date software "alive and kicking". This is such a handy and practical solution, I can't understand why it is not used far more for prepress.

    Static build up within machine causing registration movement

    Sometimes increasing the humidity in the air helps. Years ago, when we had static problems with the films in our imagesetter, we activated a humidifier. We don't need to nowadays, because modern films are created "Antistatic".

    Alternative to high resolution imagesetting

    Silver based imagesetter film is going to be around for quite some time. But, Thermal Film may also be an alternative. Not cheap, scratches easily, but needs no processing. OYO, (now under a different name) - for up to 120 LPI @1200 dpi. - (Not suitable for the OP's requirements), but KODAK DITR...

    We bought the set of FontLab apps many years ago and they performed great. There was a learning curve, which I didn't personally take, but conversions were done successfully. They would be my first choice for any professional font related issue.

    I was told Barak Paltiel retired about a year ago, but I was promised to get the answer next week. I'll post my findings here after I try the switch. BTW, in this platform it is not soldered to the motherboard, I had the original motherboard replaced twice, with standard IBM boards. In my...

    @Magnus59 I was told that there was only one specific component, different one in different generations of computers. And - the font ID is involved. I'll try to find Barak and ask him. Thank you.
