Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
I will see about getting that for you. Even better send me a file of your own for us to try.
It aint always about you. The typical customer would never know the difference between above average print and ultra high end print unless you show them. So I didn't miss a thing, the context of my post remains that as LED gets cheaper most shops will be using it in a few years. I certainly didn't say YOU would be using it.
If your super high end shop (which remains to be seen) needs the next level go for it. Why are you even bothering in these discussions if your are proclaiming to be so far above this technology?
Sure. Personally I hate loss of image quality at any point. Some of it is inevitable (fabric weave, etc) and some of it is avoidable. I'll avoidthe avoidable even if it means sticking with dinosaur technology. Hell, the edges of raster text makes me wanna puke though you'll neversee it on the shirt.
Why do you feel the need to jump in a post regarding the science of exposure to tell us that as things get cheaper more people will buy them?Thanks for the economic pearl of wisdom there Captain Obvious, but it has nothing to do with the discussion at hand. And quite honestly, it's moreof the same as far as I've seen on the subject. Plenty of people use cheap toilet paper....
LED is here to stay. As much as I like MH units for there long run durability, we simply rarely see the 90k runs of discharge or HSA here in the states. So for almost 99% of the US printers with shorter run lengths, LED works just fine.
Update: But my problem is I'm getting overexposure symptoms on the small stuff like our regi marks and art info we put on our film.

Alan do the reg marks wash out OK with pressure washer ? I see some of the same issue with HVP but a quick power wash opens everything right up for me.. I am relating this issue it to poor density on edges of image on film, take a piece of lino film and see if you get same results.
...AND WHY DO YOU NEED A 2% DOT??
I don't think we've ever really gotten a 2% dot on anything above a 40lpi but I could be off. I have only recently gotten involved in the lpi outputs our artists were doing and trusted our old artist to do what he felt best. I have the OYO test film here I might just throw in on a 305 and see what I can get, but I doubt it will be close to 2% at any of the lpi settings it has.
We don't need a 2% dot, ever.But if you're the rep for a company and you claim your machine can do it, at 85 lpi, I'd like to see it.
