    I am having issues either with our plate imaging, RIP settings or press .. Not sure where to start troubleshooting.

    I am reading with a calibrated densitometer patch readings that are in tolerance.. but the overall print is way too dark.

    Any advice appreciated.

    We solved the problem . We had an incorrect dot gain. we calibrated the RIP with a second hand techkon DMS 910 and all looking good. Thanks

    Grayscale image is true black, but prints in color?
