Setting up P900 for Direct to Plate methods using QTR


 

Another PSA. I have wrestled with helping people set up their P900s for DTP use over the last couple of years. I think I have finally figured out a pretty solid workflow for getting this done. It has a number of steps, and is documented here:

Thanks Clay - really appreciate you sharing this info in an easy guide. Very useful! I don't have a P900 as yet, but I know it just around the corner!

Clay, 2.6 seems to be the max platen gap setting the 5370. Any thoughts on how to approximate your P900 DTP settings with this platen gap limitation?

From what I can tell, ?platen gap isn’t all that critical - the plates and carriers are well below that thickness - 1.1mm I think. I believe this is just there in case the media is curled slightly and it prevents accidental head strikes. I think the more critical thing is to define the media thickness relatively accurately.?

Thanks very much for the follow-up Clay.


 

I am ready to try this again. Thanks as always, Clay.
