Daily Calibration with the MBL
Print the MBL directly after system startup (as soon as the chemicals have reached
their nominal temperatures) and repeat once or twice during the day.
For an MBL, the master paper must always be inserted. If an Auto-MBL is to be
printed after system startup, you must insert the master paper the night before.
The MBL calibrates the master paper again and all other paper styles are adapted
according to the master correction.
In the following print operation, the MBL is the means to keeping the production
stable and uniform. This provides consistent, every day compensation for chemical
fluctuations and/or changes in the paper process.
•
Before running a PBL on a paper (for example, because of a new emulsion)
perform an MBL on the master paper. In other words, only print a PBL in a
calibrated system.
•
Perform an MBL with the old emulsion if the emulsion is still available.
•
If there were changes in the master paper emulsion, perform a PBL without laser
point.
Daily Calibration without the MBL
NOTE: Daily calibration without the MBL is the exception.
For the respective paper that is needed, a PBL is printed or repeated, if necessary.
This can always be a PBL without new laser point calibration (with the exception of
the first time).
Daily calibration without the MBL is possible:
•
When using paper styles at the same time that are quite different (for example,
paper styles of different manufacturers). In this case, the MBL corrections cannot
show exactly the same effect for all papers.
•
Only very few paper channels are used.
•
If the required conditions for working with the MBL cannot be met.
