Never been published, even for AGFA servicemen. (((

Quite possible, but mostly looks like film's wave on the drum surface

Correct!

Please DO NOT sacrifice optical density in favor of Dot percentage. Use Calibrating SW instead and keep 3.6-3.8 D at solid area

Let's talk about positive image exposure and you will understand a principle of Accuset internal test file. 255 is MAXIMUM exposure level of Accuset and never been used in normal circumstances.

First of all find a line with +D around 3.6-3.8. Accuset was unable to get 4.0 Then check 50% how far you are

Please run internal density test directly from Accuset

It looks for me you have some sort of Laser Driver Module problem. You told us first job/plate looks good. May be after warming up of Accuset you have incorrect laser modulation. Please check coaxial RF cable connectors for good contact

Did you "zeroing" densitometer before reading?

Your chemistry is perfect BTW.

And what a density on 100% square exposed by Accuset?

I need to know actual optical density (D mode) not a percentage (DOT % mode)

First of all, check the density on daylight exposed piece of film to find a culprit: Accuset or film processor.

My post above was a little brief as well. Not only chips replacement, but reprogramming the board because one of chips is soldered on-board. I want to know the problem of Avantra forcing you to purchase new DEC board.

That board for Galileo CTP, so all logic to manage machine is different. You have to replace almost all chips from sockets on all board and place them on the new one.

AGFA does not support Avantras anymore. To avoid error 13 - remove and inspect safety switch installed on the Avantra's frame. It it damaged - make a short cut between two wires to put 24V DC via safety line. Error 165 -Inspect Digital Encoder small wheel touches the rail properly. Just look...

Hi Duane, If you have problem with Avantra, I could help you as well. I've seen Eddy last time at AGFA HQ in 2005 on Advantage training, yeah... many years passed.

I think shipping bracket for Take-Up Motor has been lost, but use some plastic foam to put it under Take-Up Motor platen and use tie-wraps to keep Tensioner Arms closed and out of vibration. That's all you need to move the Accuset by truck.

AGFA has never released Installation Manual, meaning AGFA trained servicemen should do that job.

You have to inspect the whole plate track from the Imagesetter to Processor. Dried activator on some places (after splashes) works like sand particles. Wet rug plus water should help you.
