Day 2 of our instal today. We have been using CCI VPR and Chromablue. Seem like the Chromablue will have a little more latitude.  VPR on a 355 exposed in .5 sec. Didn't seem real until we washed it out

Don't need the latitude. Figure out what works for you and go with it. It's not going to change. We have some people doing your setting on this emulsion.

i sometimes fell like I want to punish the guys(for fun) and have film days...just to make them appreciate the CTS.

Now that's funny!! :D

One of my artists (a Mac guy all the way) seems to always be griping about the PC and rip on the STE. I got tired of it and told him I was going to order film and they can start doing it that way. (We have six artists and I think 2 of them have done film, everyone else has been "spoiled" with CTS) He shut up when I said that.

the downside of the system is you are stuck with the supplied RIP, you can't test drive them and choose the one you want.

Glad I could help someone out  :P :P :P

Been working on another curve for about 3 weeks now that is showing some serious promise.... Playing with some other things outside of the "curve" window and I've figured out some interesting things that is really helping my dot quality  ;D

Sounds like I might have to trouble you for that curve and test it out!

Sounds like my guys will change their tune once we get this in and running. They are all old and stuck in their ways...Don't want to try water base, don't want to use anything besides 160 mesh, etc.

Probably voided my warranty showing you this Alex, but here is the Starlight mounted vertically like I asked about. Now literally all we have to do is lean the screen against the retrofit kit (mounted some wood blocks a little taller than a screen in there) and hit start.

It's almost finished. Have a few more braces to add on so it can't get hit with a run away cart or something.

Used an old piece of dryer rubber heat shield to shield the operator from the rest of the LEDs.

Ha,  I hope those dogs are there when I'm there.  Her'es mine. They are a tad embarrassed but everyone's gotta do what they gotta do for a meal. LOL.
