• Slower processing time.
• Higher temperature.
Processor stability is an essential step in establishing repeatability; keeping your film processor consistent means regular maintenance. You should always recalibrate your imagesetter after changing the processor chemistry or replenishment rate.
The optimum exposure setting for an image recorder depends on the type of media you select. Some photographic emulsion is more sensitive to laser light than others and can be overexposed more easily. The media thickness can also affect your output. Perform an exposure test to find your optimum exposure setting. The measurements you use to create a transfer function from an unadjusted gray page, imaged at the optimum exposure setting, ensure accurate dot sizes.
