Hi guys and gals,

After much studying and research, alot of this ending with a dead end so to speak, i think i have finally got somewhere.

I decided enough was enough of all these problems with Indesign and actually rang Adobe UK support. We went through lots of different idea's but nothing we tried would work and even the tech help says that it should not be doing this, indesign that is. The operator could not work out why, when exporting files, they would break all halftone pictures into little cubes or squares.

First off, it was mentioned it was the way the docum...

I have a problem when importing xls datasheets in Quark. By copying them directly from Excel and then pasting into a picture frame in Quark, everything looks good. The problem comes when using the Distiller (or simply the Quark option to export as PDF) to make the pdf file from that layout. The Excel picture (tabel) only has the borders and text, no colors, no gray rasters, nothing, no ...

The dongle is the license for the software so if it is lost or stolen you would have to purchase a new one. You can purchase a new Harlequin RIP for the Dolev at http://rti-rips.com

It is important to keep the dongle in a safe place and if you ever sell or move the software make sure the dongle moves with the imagesetter.

It sounds like your RIP is not able to correctly process PDFs. Have you tried saving the PDF back to a previous version (PDF v.1.3 or PDF v.1.4)? Depending on the age of your RIP you may want to upgrade your RIP to a newer version. Not knowing much about the Apogee you would have to ask Agfa about that product. There are other third party RIPs like a Harlequin RIP http://rti-rips.com/IMAGESETTERRIPS/AgfaRIPKIT.html that would allow you to output currently up to PDF v.1.7. Your RIP may be the problem but you would have to do some further tests (possibly sending PDF 1.3 files) to see if it can handle any type o...

It sounds like you need to adjust your exposure in your page setup. Go to RIP -> Page Setup Manager in the menu then edit your page setup. On the right hand side you will have an exposure setting. Change this up or down to make the images lighter or darker on your film. Often with the Harlequin RIP (depending on the original manufacturer) you can set the exposure to 0 and it will use what is on the output device itself. Write down your exposure setting now and just up or down then reimage the job or output an uncalibrated target (from the Output -> Print Calibration) window. Do not output the same job over an...

Hi Fernando,
Why do you want to clean laser diode?
You can't recognize which one is dirty, and all of them are in the safe box that there isn't any dust into.
If you feel the current of laser diodes have reduced, you can only clean the sensor and lens of machine, and sometimes increase reference parameters of reduced diode.

enlarging a pixel based mask will result in "some" degredation - depends by how much - it's a judgement call.

i know its prolly a pain but recreate the mask as stated before, on the larger image - then you know it'll be right - the time taken will be less cost/time than a reprint coz it was wrong......
