Wheels, Sorry to hear of your concerns. I would love to have a senior technical speciallist talk to you directly so we can better understand your concerns and address the situation quickly. Can you please send me your contact information directly to [email protected] and I will arrange.

Jerry, As both Raymond and Rich have posted, the Acento S (Screen CTP) is a fixed focus device which means that, unlike Kodak CTP devices, the focal depth of the laser is fixed at initial set up and cannot adjust for any unforeseen undulations in the imaging surface of the plate. As they...

Speaking from the manufacturing side and placing all spin aside “Defects happen”. With that, it is very important for us to know when, how and where these issues occurred. As Meddington has said I would ask that you set the plates aside and contact your local Kodak Sales Representative or...

That is most likely not a good thing, but with out knowing the specifics it is hard to say where your final number will fall. Please call the Kodak Plate Service Center at 888-996-5877 and they will help you to set the system to your needs. If for some reason this does not work, please contact...

Longlimb, the conductivity of the Goldstar Premium Developer should be around 85 -87. Since there is not a separate regenerator the conductivity will drop on the dev but will reach a stable point, if in fact the regenerator rates and antiox are set properly. To help you set the replenishment...

Well I did not think it would come to this but it seems that the string wants to go quite deep into the anatomy of a plate’s grain structure, which is fine by me. I love to share this type of information. Gordo shows a great picture of the grained structure though I have attached a couple more...

Clark, you are absolutely correct that a lithographic plate has two grain structures, aluminum grain and surface grain. Now as KMGI points out, the preparation of a plate’s surface grain structure can be created by using acid with electrical currents (EC Grain) or through a physical abrasion...

Although I agree with some of what KMGI Sales writes I have to respectfully disagree with the last statement as the importance of aluminum grain direction is highly dependent on what type of press you are running (Sheetfed or Web). In the case of sheetfed the aluminum grain direction, either...

Good to hear you are moving forward with the Electra XD (P80). As stated before I think you will be very pleased with the results. I trust that you are in contact with the local Kodak sales and technical resources to support your test/transition? If not feel free to send me a private massage...

Hi Guys - Wanted to jump in here to try to clear up your questions, but let me know if you have more: P0080 was the project code for the new Kodak Electra XD thermal plate, which was launched in Europe at drupa and commercialized in the US at Graph Expo last year. Electra XD is similar in...
