I found the BIAS parameter, what should the value be?

No, the image area still remains in the same position but the white areas of the artwork that should not be imaged are being imaged as well.

Thanks for the response, At this point my CtP is still down. I did try a focus test and focus adjustment but the result is the same. I also tried changing RIP settings to positive also had the same results. I ran the CtP with covers off and verified that the plate is sitting well in the...

Thanks for the feedback Maxon, is there anyway I can run some tests or confirm for sure that it is the laser that is gone? I did try to reduce the burn resolution and the green areas fade somewhat but still not as it should be.

Thank you for the feedback. I am using a Xitron Harlequin RIP which is connected directly to the CtP via a Xitron interface, so the Metashooter is not being used. This has been working well for over a year now. I tried running a test exposure from the CtP Speedway Engine and the result is the...

I've been using a Heidelberg Prosetter 74 30mW laser with Violet photopolymer plates for over 2years. Suddenly over night, the CtP has started imaging non-image areas when we attempt to burn plates. I've verified that the processor is working correctly and have cleaned the optical head and...

We recently had the same problem..the CtP would come on and start the boot sequence but then fail to start-up and give a safety loop check failure error...we were wrongly advised about which boards to change and ended up spending so much on unnecessary boards and production time...

We have a prosetter and using a Xitron RIP and Metashooter to send the files, recently the prosetter stops burning the image mid-way through and the metashooter shows "recorder offline or wire fault" yet the CtP GUI shows online! This is pretty frustrating and lots of plates end up being wasted...

Hi, is this unit still available? If yes, is it a 30mW laser or 5mW and where is it located? Thank you,

Thank you kydruid, for the input. We are checking out your suggestions.

Please help! We have a CtP Prosetter 74 30mW Laser, it has been working fine and we were happy with it's performance. Suddenly the machine won't boot up. Upon switching it on it starts the bootup process but then keeps giving an error code '3307:Safety Loop Check Failed'! We've checked all the...

Thanks guys for the input. Managed to get this sorted thanks to the prompt assistance of the Heidelberg technical team in Australia and then Mauritius. :)

We bought a prosetter 74 CtP which came with a Xitron RIP and Metashooter 1.5. The RIP Works, the CtP UI works & the Speedway Engine works but I can't seem to get the Metashooter print manager to run! When I click on the Metashooter icon, it opens the web browser but immediately shows "page...

We inherited an Overhead Parker print down frame that has a burnt out ignitor. We can't seem to find any wiring diagrams anywhere, if anyone has a wiring diagram for this, please help. Thank you.

Hi Cosmo, What kind of processor do you need for the Pro-V plates? Thanks, Karishma.

Hi Dilip, sorry for not responding earlier, i've just seen your message. We ended up going with the Violet laser, we got a refurbished Prosetter 74 with 30mW laser which offers more variety of plate choices. What did you go with? Karish.

Thanks for your response. Processless is not really a must for us, we are happy to use polymer or any other plates that would give good quality on a Violet laser...our main concern is plate preparation time, since we will be printing a newspaper that needs to be out in the early hours of the...

We haven't bought anything as yet, still looking at the different options...I still feel more inclined towards Violet Laser and currently looking at a Heidelberg Prosetter

From personal experience, we invested in an MO and had serious issues with it, its not a very reliable machine. I reckon you could find a reasonably priced SM and this would be better in terms of performance.

Ok, will keep my eye out for atleast 60mW...in your opinion do you reckon that the quality of the polymer plates are good or the processless is better? We were advised to go with Heidelberg prosetter since we have no local support and we need a very reliable unit. In the event of down time we...
