    How to impose 1 Bit Tiff files

    imagesetting: Your comments reflect the reasoning behind hybrid or in our case Sublima XM screening. At 175 lpi AM screening, a 2% dot is 2x2 pixels (21 microns). That's the smallest size dot we use in an XM implementation. To get a lighter tone, we no longer make the dot smaller, we make...

    Chemical Costs

    viofems... Trillian and Brillia HD are not chem-free. Perhaps you were aware of that. With Azura TS, you'll go through about one jug of gum/clean-out solution for every 3,200 ft2 of plates. No other chemistry, and only a few liters of water between jugs of gum to rinse the unit. Regards,

    Of course, approvals are now web-based through the virtual travel agency. Unfortunately, their server is acting up, so you might not get final approval and booking until after your arrival deadline.

    Azura TS

    TF: If they are suggesting that not enough energy is getting to the plate, have you asked yourself what has changed over the year? If the optics window has gotten dirty over the year, then that would be a cause of not enough energy getting to the plate. Azura looks properly exposed, even when...

    Azura TS

    TF109 I sent you a PM. Have you called 1-800-TRY-AGFA? I'm not tech support - but it sounds like your optics might be dirty. Regards,

    What's the state-of-the-art CTP for small offset?

    Doug: Have you had this discussion with your current graphic arts supplier? There is a wide assortment of imaging options for the volume and demand you require. From polyester plates that run through an optimized xerographic "laser" printer, to plates that run through a medium-sized ink jet...

    Job Types

    Thanks Ox - I had forgotten. Technically, those would be square or top-hat profile pixie dust, vs. gaussian profile pixie dust. I suspect these would also be violet specks, as you can't see the IR thermal pixie dust.

    Future of VIOLET CTP?

    Nshadab: If you're opening a plate service bureau, then poll your audience and see what the plate requirements are. If it's a 1 million impression run, or a harsh UV environment, then a baked thermal plate like our P970 might be your best fit. However, if you are servicing typical sheetfed...

    LAPv on Prosetter

    Raymond: Good thing you are going to visit the customer directly, as something sounds amiss. I'm certainly not tech support, and it's dangerous for me to even speculate. In the past I've seen drips from condensation from other brands of processors, not ours. But then you start to mention UV...

    KODAK VIOLET PRINT vs. FUJI LP-NV2 PLATES

    printryt No one plate is best for all applications. Nor, is one engine or laser technology best for all applications. To complicate things further, Agfa has violet photopolymer, chem-free violet photopolymer, and violet silver (diffusion transfer) plate technologies. Given that, I'd vote...
