    Are you competing against trade printers now? 4over going direct.

    Photo of an imaged FujiFilm Ecomaxx-T plate

    You can't have an light interacting with the plates either before or after imaging them. I use to put the plates back into the boxes they came in or cover them so no light came in contact with them. Also image the plates when they are about to go on press, limits the amount of time they sit out.

    Did you just switch to positive plates? looks like a plate profile is still set for negative number. We had the same issue, we use negative plates, but when we were testing the Kodak Sonora plates which are positive, we had to apply a curve the opposite to what we needed. Hope that helps
