Minimum 500 [**]
The speed of the material shall be referenced in test results and any customer
information by the number indicated on the potentiometer dial.
The equivalent laser power is given here as reference and assumes that the
Platesetter laser power has been calibrated per Printware procedure C92-2 for
the 1440 ES model or procedure C92-6 for the 1440 ZN. Laser power variation
between calibrated platesetters will fall within the range indicated. Quality
assurance testing must be done only on a properly calibrated Platesetter.
The plate material is acceptable only if the image quality is acceptable (plate
per paragraph 2.5.2 and press per paragraph 2.5.3) over a laser power range of
[**].
Optimum speed shall be determined by imaging the Printware process control plate
and inspecting the resolution target for "even eight's". The laser power
exposure is properly adjusted when the forward eight pixel line (black on white)
is equal in width to the reverse eight pixel line (white on black). Line width
can be accurately measured using an optical comparitor with .0005 gradations
such as the Digiscope available from Byers Graphic Imaging Systems. When the
proper exposure is attained, the plate material speed is indicated on the laser
power potentiometer dial.
2.6 ENVIRONMENTAL
2.6.1 Waste Disposal - All materials making up the plate material shall
be non-toxic, capable of normal disposal and shall be biodegradable
to the maximum extent possible.
2.6.2 Ozone Protection - No ozone depleting chemicals shall be used
either in the plate or in the process used to mare the plate material.
