I had a similar issue with a screen platerite processor. Turned out it was uneven wear of the scrub roller cover over time. Stuck a new one on and reset the roller and all was good. Now, if you process the plate by rotating it and the issue shows up in the same place on the plate then it cannot...

My experience with printing 2 sided on card is to do it in 2 passes. Also, I have found the best way of getting registration for the backup is to spin the backs around the other way on the pdf so that the same lead edge of the card is used for both sides. This might seem a pain to do but it is...

Guy I do work for got an Oki C900 series SRA3 laser printer. I run 350gsm SRA3 through the bypass feed for business cards. I like the machine, good fit, colour is acceptable, not too much distortion might be about 1mm on the sheet length. I like it. Has been reliable. Only issue that stopped it...

When i was an apprentice film planner the guy had me painting halftone dots with opaque for hours. They were the punch holes from the film punch collection tray.

Lol well done Apple, first Helvetica Neue screwup and now this. Methinks us pre-press guys are hanging off the bottom rung of the apple customer ladder with our fingertips. Luckily I read this on another forum and swear not to update snow leopard unless absolutely necessary.

Problems I have had with our 2055 are; dirty spinning mirror due to dust. crud on the long lens leading to soft banding. Both sorted by an engineer visit. Edit: re below post from Blane. I am on the 3rd scrub roller now, the glue that they use parts company with the steel roller over time...

I use the Oki Xpress on demand C96whatever too. Never put any magnetic stock through it though. Trying to find a good 350gsm card to use for business cards, have tried invitation ivory and character. Both are just average. Waht do you guys use for card printing? I found a lil vid of a laser...

Meybe you can get the plate usage off the plate processor control panel too. It will tell you a total plate usage, note it down and compare it and it will give you your usage I would think unless you use different plate sizes like me.

Re: Trueflow Text Reflow and Font Issues I had similar issues with our basic installation of trueflow. It turned out to be trueflow that needed the latest updates applied. After a day of fiddling all is well. Speak to your screen specialist about the issue, you are not the only one. In my...

Re: problem with gradient in illustrator to quark Am I right in saying if you do not have a postscript printer you should make a pdf out of your quark document and print from acrobat to get a good quality print? I seem to remember having to do this years ago. Nelly.

Re: Creative ideas for a difficult problem. I used to do the artwork for the fancy plastic signs you see screwed onto beer taps in bars and pubs. A little different i know because we had to consider 3 dimentions not just 2 but very similar. All I cound suggest is printing a test job of known...

Re: Epson 9800 clogged nozzles I rang up epson support with similar blockage issue and paper marking from the carriage. He told me to restart the printer with pause button held in to get into the proper menu and do a super duper xtra power clean from there and I made the platengap a bit bigger...
