    i am new to this forum....that said this is my problem hopefully someone can help me (please). I recently bought a print shop and in the package there was a DPM 34sc and workstation with harlequin RIP.. I purchased SDP-FRS175 989RSD Mitsubishi brand plate material & chemical from Mac paper..this is my problem...
    when i make plate it comes out of the dpm completely silver with black strips down both sides..my chemical is new and the plate material was put into the cassette in a light safe environment. i am not sure if the plate material is right or spooled correcty, or if the laser is not working properly or if i am not outputting it correctly...any input would be greatly appreciated. Also...If i take the side panel off and depress the switch, run a plate - would i be able to see the laser?

    I would double check the plate material is for a DPM ( laser imaged ) - not for a camera platemaker

    Call presstek / markandy to buy the correct plate material and you'll be set
