Our Fuji plate processor has a software counter for the scrub covers. It allows for 9000 m2 of plates between scrub cover changes and the machine will give you a warning. Works out to about 3 - 4 times a year for us. You can check on plate counts, developer life and scrub cover life with the touch screen control screen on the processor.

I have a mix of 3 plate sizes 40, 24, and 19",  with Kodak I cleaned around 1000 plates

Quote from: Tracy on April 17, 2014, 08:45:34 AMdo you have a screen shot of it causing a problem?

No, but on Tuesday I'll post a camera shot of the printed sheet, brought in to pp room, where a big Texta circle was drawn around it.    :embarrassed:  Had it been set as a cross-hair, they may have got away with it. It was a small cross+ring target.  Bugger.

Went to change the size of a trim box, and couldn't figure it out
not worth a call to fuji yet, I could change the size but it was not centered.


also checking back about the amount of plates you run before cleaning
I use to run 1000 of mixed 40's 24,s and 19 inch plates
Fuji did the 1st cleaning a month after install
Andyfest you must have a better processor than I do but I will check it out

I know people adjust PDFs within XMF, but I tend not to. Prefer to PitStop 'em upstream. Can you screenshot where it's going wonky?

We clean on the last Friday of the month, every month. At that point we have produced on average 2000 plates - a mix of 29 in & 40 in plates.

If i think I understand your question Tracy,  You need to select Advanced scaling in the Content Adjust. Or probably a easier/better way would be to do it in Page box settings when originally importing the PDF.
You can't polish a Turd, but you can roll it in glitter!

Tracy

Thanks for the screen shots
mine our greyed out
This is not something I would do very often, but just curious


Tracy

Changing presses I lose the layout, Doing something wrong or just the way it is?

impodave

Yeah, if there's a way around that, I'm not sure what it would be.  You could save the job temporarily as an SST, then start over with the new press config.

<<<<<< Here's my Grandkids once again -- they're growing up way too fast !!    Fuji XMF V6.8.2 Complete, Mac OS, Adobe Creative Suite, Epson 7900/EFI XF V4.0, Fuji Dart 4300E, Komori L528 5 color, Komori L429P 4 color,  Heidelberg PM46 2 color, Ricoh, Kyocera, Xante Impressia and a shop full of finishing stuff ...

frailer

Yeah, SSTs are always a pretty painless workaround. If you've already got an impo set up, it's a few seconds to save it off to the SST folder, then re-purpose it... then Copy, whatever.
