Not happening to me but another facility, we have more or less eliminated the file and are concentrating on the platesetter.

What are your thoughts? I have a couple but would like some opinions.

Oh it typically happens after a job is done and a remake is needed.

paper fanning?
Seen it here on some papers.  Not sure if it's the moisture content or lack of. We can move individual pages/colors to help, but it's usually a crap shoot at best. As the press warms up it can alter the sheet fanning.

Kinda what I was thinking. I tend to keep any heavy registration elements away from the tail and left and right of the sheet. Does the registration get better the closer you get to the gripper?
Speed doesn't kill, rapidly becoming stationary is the problem

I'd rather have stories told than be telling stories of what I could have done.

We still have fanning issues printing on SBS.  More so on our old (20 years old, or so) 6/C Roland.  The brand new Heidelberg doesn't seem to have those issues near as much.

Just talked again with them, if they remake the whole set over it fits. If they try and just remake the one plate over it doesn't fit.

It seems like I ran into this years ago but I can't retrieve the data from my cranium back up.

Do the plates measure the same on the x and y axis?

Dunno, but what would it matter?

It fits in the center of the plate but starts to go out as you get towards the sides.

How long after the file is plated are these reruns happening? Is it a few hours or days/months?

That's my thinking as well, I think we had a lead screw issue that might have caused a problem as well.
