Image fading at lead edge of plate - DPM34HSC

[CathieHarris]

Hi all.

I've been running plates on this processor (DPM34HSC) for quite a while with no issues. Suddenly, yesterday, when I ran plates, I notice it was cutting off, actually fading off, the top type/image that's closest to the gripper. I'm using ABDick PrintersRIP, poly plates, 13,375" in length.

I can move down my artwork by 3/16" on the Mac and resend the file and it's fine, but if I butt it up to the gripper edge, like I've always done, and anything is within that top 3/16" area, it fades off.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Cathie

If you run 2 plates out at the same time and the second one is OK, you might find that light is getting in some where.
