CTP Troubleshooting--Covering All Bases

Challenge Printing reports several successful troubleshooting experiences as well. Brustad notes solutions in such problem areas as plate scratching (tracked and located in the transport to the processor), plate fall-off on press (presently experimenting with increased exposures) and inconsistent laser exposures (eliminated by weekly inspections and equipment maintenance). The end result: Challenge may soon be switching from photopolymer to thermal plates.
