Reversed Screen angles

[Mickyj07]

Got a kind of a bonehead question here, but we had a server meltdown and had to reinstall RAMpage. We realized the screen angles for each plate were running opposite of the previous install. It was also reversing the square/round dot. Any ideas on why that might be? I was wondering if it had to do with emulsion settings. We use CTP if that helps. Positive Fuji plates.

is negative media polarity checked in your output tab?

No, but it wasn't checked last time either. I saved screenshots of my settings. I know it's something easy, and I'll feel like a total ass for not knowing. hehe.

could it have been an environment variable?

I suppose anything is possible. All of the other jobs we've run have had no complaints from the pressroom except this one, but the sales manager is demanding and answer as to why it did that. I simply don't know what to tell him. One little job hits a bump and it's a witchhunt for the prepress guy. hehe...

Just so I have a starting point, what environment variables could have done this? Personally, I think the last run was the anomoly, not this one.

if it's the one job that's off I'd think it wasn't a variable because that would have effected every job.


could it have been like you thought, negitive exposure that's getting inverted at the platesetter?
