Wow Wow Gentlemen, Outstanding work! This thread is the bomb. Very helpful and a testament to some very wise lithographic minds. Thank you all!

We have an old Iris 43 Wide that we are looking to unload. Might be good for parts.

Thanks Meddington and Bigger, I have indeed notified my rep. The lack of an answer as of yet led to this post. I have learned thus far the more information one can obtain the better. I appreciate the input.

Howdy all. We are encountering a problem which we initially thought was a scratching issue with the P080 plate. Instead it appears to be a problem with the emulsion of the plate. You can actually see the defect prior to imaging. It varies in length but it always appears in the same area on the...

Longlimb, Talked with our pressroom foreman. He suggested the following. Ink, PH, or a packing issue on the cyan unit. Is the tac of the cyan ink you are using now the same as when you did your test? 20 mic does require special tac. Also the PH could be a factor. Are all the units are feeding...

Gain Gain Hi again longlimb. I assume you have created a footprint of the press and developed a plate curve based on that footprint. If so and also assuming that the dots you think you are putting on the plate are actually the dots you put on the plate, then one must assume that your house is...

Hi Longlimb, We have been running that plate for a while now and after a fresh change the chemistry starts to drop into the mid 70's within a few days. I have been told that the latitude of this plate is quite wide and have not had any negative effects from this PH level. We are pretty careful...

So far so good So far so good We have been running the P0080 for a few months now with good results.

Here is the conundrum. I just love archiving with Prinergy via RBA. It gives me everything I want. The original application files, the ripped and trapped data and a dandy historical view of the life cycle (or many life cycles ) of a job. Problem is that when you are archiving with Prinergy to...

Thanks Thanks This thread really helped today!. Thanks to all who posted.

Juergen, I am really curious about Fogra vs. Swop color standards. I just returned from GMG (Hingham, USA) where I heard several color standards discussed and would really appreciate your insight into the differences between them. I have been testing color profiles here (after using SWOP blindly...

Re: Epson 9800 question Cool. I understand. We use sheeted media now. Our Epson is fitted with the Double Sided Media Guide which I have found to be fairly lame. Perhaps it's just me... What attachment do you have?

Re: Epson 9800 question Hey. Thanks for the post. What do you mean sheet to sheet? Are you backing them up or pasting sheetwise forms together? Thanks. ML

Re: Back up and archiving in Prinergy Yes. Yes. A reply! I thought I was alone in the wilderness! I have used both Retrospect and Arc Serve. I will in fact buy a copy today just for this. It amazes me that there is no Prinergy related solution to this. I thought for sure that there must be a...

Is there anyone out there with any experience in using an Epson 9800 as an impo proofer? I have an extra proofer I would like to re-purpose for this task but have heard that backing up proofs from Prinergy can be quite a hassle. Bueller. Bueller. Anyone? Thanks ML

I wanted to pose a question to my fellow Prinergy users. How are you dealing with backing up your working jobs? I am using RBA and the Prinergy archiver to create final archives of the jobs when completed and moving them to tape, but I am concerned about my working data not being backed up on a...

Re: FM screening lines front to back of plate We had a very similar problem here. We chased a bazillion different suspects, (laser sweeps, power, focus, chemistry, press blankets, impression pressure, paper...) What it actually turned out to be was the stitching pattern the rip uses to piece...

Re: GMG Uncoated Profiles Thanks Simon and everyone else for the input. What a great forum for ideas this is! ML
