Hi,
We have screen ctp 4300e, suddenly all images on the plate are displaced and not complete.
We did test pattern, focus and intensity, all was ok.
Only when sending job throught the trueflow rip we had uncompleted displaced image like photo attached.

Thank you in advance for your help

The entire data path must be checked - server, output connection, F-PIF cable or E2PIF box adapter, CTP input connector.
I've seen something similar on a 16000 machine turned out it was a bad RAM DIMM on the internal IMB board. Keep your fingers crossed it's a loose connection somewhere.
Do you get any errors on the ctp display ? Is this problem coming and going or permanent ? If permanent, run several consecutive plates with exactly same image and tell if they look identical or not. I mean perfectly identical.

Thank you very much @maxon.
The problem is permanant, and no error of any kind is displayed.
Most connection has been checked, but we'll even recheck the mentioned places.

Do you Test your LTB16 Board?
