What kind of curve was being used on the prinergy system? was it calibrated to your machine are you sure your dotmeter was configured for or can read a 20 micron dot screen?

The units are neat design, very few moving parts, interface is USB so the system is navigated via the host PC which has a nifty GUI. has configuration for Punched plates or corner registration system, which means it can image whole range of plates from small to large. and can image all types of...

Highwater is still selling the Cron unit, more info can be found HighWater CTP |. Crons technology and quality is always improving, and they have new models of units recently released, or coming out soon.

I think that number is very out of date now. They are pushing lots of units out, not only in China, but across europe as well with their partners.

Have you ruled out the plates / processor? If you take a blank plate and put it through the processor do you get the same results? I have seen just this kind of behaviour before, with a bad batch of plates, also check that your preheats / speed / dev temps are all correct and safe lights are OK...

When did the Cobra last have a PMV? The cobra has a spinner mirror which spins at 36rpm, like all systems which use spinners dust will cover the spinner which reduce the power which lands on the plate which in turn leads to plates fading on press. If you want anymore info, PM me

I was wondering if anyone knows any free programs which will view a Cip3 file for debug purposes. I just need to double check a systems cip3 output without a press front end. Thanks

what kind of plates chemistry are you using, and what happens when they are on the press? do they wear quickly?

If anyone is upgrading their PC for Python I would just be aware that trying to jump an evolution step may be a waste of time, in terms of OS spec, XP SP2 is about the safest OS to go with I know issues had been seen on later releases of XP / Vista, If it does work on a virtual server I would be...

If it is working part time, it does sound like a possible peltier failure on the laser module, but it is possible that error message which appears is not the actual issue., but something upstream. If this problem happens again, its worth doing a system status with full eprom settings and...

Try ripping the job with no calibration set...If that works it could be the calibration, I have vague memories that of a feature of HQN rips that if you read 100% on the 98% patch and entered this in, you would get a screened dot on solids

Both Violet AND thermal have their pluses and negatives, pricing plays a big part of your choice, with thermal you can get the speed, but you pay for it with 64 laser. Running as plate business you have different needs from that of inhour printer. The places I have visited have customers with...

8.1 is far better than any of the other 8.x editions, Trapping is faster, especially with transparancies,also issues where jobs would crash the RIP and odd character appearing on output have been eliminated from what I have seen.

I very much doubt it, Harlequin RIPs come in different guises according to dongle. They can be limited by resolution and specific plugins. As the Jet Plate was inkjet, it wou;ld have been cheaper for Jetplate to buy a special dongle just t for their plugin rather a complete open high res RIP

I would say this depends, on type of work you are doing and type of plates. If anything I would say check RIP calibration with Dot Meter and recalibrate if needs be. That is a quicktest and will compensate if there are difference Differences between the better brands are minimal, but beware...

Suggest you use google and search function of these forums for info. There is a lot of inormation already around which can easily be found.

Plates from Fuji do appear to making it to market now, however it appears from little I have seen that they have been targeting non fuji plate users. Another issue has been processors. There are few chem free specific processors out there, and conversion kits for others don't appear to be ready...

I know that Heights processors which I am guessing this might be have engineering mode where such settings including interface mode is set. Have you tried logging in on this with the default engineering code? I can say I know I diddly squat about FUJI CTP devices, but for other devices...

I was wondering more about the Violet Agfa chem free / low chem plate. Undertand the newspapers have at the moment, but no one else
