Screen 3050 help!

Hey people... I'm running a Screen 3050 with a Rampage front end (version 9.4) and I'm getting "image errors" on cyan and magenta but not on other colors. The signatures that error are generally larger (20x28) as the smaller ones print fine. Has anyone else run across this and can explain why this is happening or anyone know a fix? I've got 6 forms in my office now that all I need is the cyan plates! Thanks in advance!

When you say image errors are you referring to registration? Whatever your sequence is for plotting cyan (if its the 3rd film out) try plotting say 3 magenta negs and register them up on the table. If the 3rd position one is out of register then its not your CYAN neg thats giving you the problem but it may be a read error from the hard drive that is corrupt. This type of imagesetter has 2 hard drives that toggles the info to be plotted. When you plot the smaller outputs are you centering them on the film? pushing to 20" on this device is hitting it's limits for imageable area. I'm assuming that the room conditions are ok........not having an ac or heater sporadically blowing air on it ...etc etc.

Re: Screen 3050

Well this made my day! This imagesetter has it's replacement out in the hall and I was just trying to make it till next week for them to install it. Thanks for coming through! I printed a small one color job ahead of the cyan plates and by doing that, I forced the cyan to the other drive and it worked beautifully! What a relief! Thanks again! Now if I can just get my Microsoft problem fixed...
