    When I go to print plates for the offset press I get banding in the image whenever I increase the LPI to 130 or above. And we're suffering a lack of quality because of this issue. Any ideas or opinions would be greatly appreciated..

    Thanks,
    Seth

    Hi Seth, where in NY are you? I've been using this printer to make plates for years... To the best of my knowledge it can't do over 133lpi. What kind of jobs are trying to run? Sadly if you need high res halftones/gradations, etc you will, most likely, need a different solution to make your plates.
