How about any RGB space being much wider then CMYK?

The component you are looking for is TPM (Trusted Platform Module). I'm not sure if it can be transferred as it is soldered to motherboard in Brisques. NIC and TSP are not used as I had replaced them and machine would continue to work.

I know two cases when separate plate and press curves are better: 1. There is web offset company here with three CtP and 6 printing machines. It would take 18 curves to do it without linearization (1 curve per CtP per printing machine) and only 9 curves (1 per CtP = 3 curves; 1 per printing...

Maybe you are looking in the wrong place. Check the whole menu "Color" intended for such matters. Also, try Color Pro setups and options. Unfortunately, there is no single answer to your question as it depends on multiple factors.

If I remember Screen CtP correctly, you have to calibrate those sensors on the back of the machine for different color of plate. There should be left and right one. They read the plate position before punching. If they don't read plate correctly, machine tries multiple times to move plate back...

If it is swath wide, try to play with beam balance (slope, curve, depth, etc).

The company I work for is CtP-service company - we image thermal plates for others. We do not have every imaginable format of plates so we have 8 main formats (1 8up, 4 4up and 3 2up) and we use the plate trimmer to make final product of required size. It is used for over 10 years now with...

Ask them directly the same question. There are two possible answers: "Yes, you can use those" and "No, you can not use those". In first case you go on, probably using old washing unit with washout solution instead of water. In second case, either you switch to other plates (same or different...

AI should be file with PDF content embedded into AI file - "Create PDF Compatible File" in Save dialog. Same effect can be achieved by opening the same file in older version of Illustrator: it is not able to read newer AI file version so it will ask to open PDF part of file instead. Unembedding...

In your case, solution is roller replacement (original rollers and more expensive) or putting new gum layer on existing rollers (procedure similar to rollers in offset printing machines). That would increase the pressure between two rollers making plate dryer when entering the dryer unit. I...

That is also the reason why plate makers try to make processless plates with lower and lower energy requirements. I'll take Azura as an example. First generation Azura was in 300mJ/cm2 range, TS went down to 200mJ/cm2, TU is in 160mJ/cm2 range and all had to wash in Azura gumming/washing...

Not so. Sonora is NEGATIVE working plate which means that laser writes the image area. Same as AGFA Azura or Fuji Brilia Pro-T(any version). In my experience, most plates have less than half of total surface covered in image (to remind: positive plates have to remove all non mage areas)...

Quote from Harlequin RIP manual: "Calculating Gray Levels One of the strategies for producing a high-quality image is to in crease the halftone frequency as much as possible, without reducing gray levels below 256 (the maximum level that can be detected). To calculate how many levels of gray...

Presstek plate washer is made or its components are made in India. Company name is Proteck or Protec or something similar.

Best to call engineer. He will determine if diodes are OK, check if more then one need to be replaced, clean the lens (and you don't want to scratch that one), etc. Only thing that you can do is clean the outer lens, which is a part of your regular cleaning process.

Kodak Sonora and other chem-free plates are not made for long run UV. I tried all iterations of AGFA Azura - same thing, up to 2000 impressions before wear shows, after 3000 unusable. Only one chem-free plate could do UV long run: Presstek Anthem Pro in some cases outlasted baked chem plates...

Did you login to windows at all? Newer versions of windows require password to allow access to shared resources. In this case, Mac can see the resources on windows machine but can not access them.

SamB has good point. Simple logic says that if it is not plate, it can not be printed. So if you don't have problems at start of printing, than it is press issue. According to your description, plate picks up color in image and non-image areas; significantly less in non-image areas but it makes...

The plate gripper margin and paper gripper margin are constant. Depending on software you use, you could define boundaries=margins for print size. In Indesign or other DTP you can make the document size equal to plate size with no bleeds. Use margins to define paper size and position relative...

I work on Dolev 800V with PSM on daily basis. There is still pretty much use of film here.
