Dead on -exposed too long, burned right through the dye/ink on the film. Problem solved, thanks!

My first test print, didn't really figure it would go off without a hitch. I used a 160 mesh screen. Some of the lines are broken, they are very thin but I've seen better results achieved with similar detail. Some areas looked pretty good, even the thin areas in some places. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the tips!! I will dig around for some good deals.

XPO2331 has blown a ballast for the second time in a month. Why?! Any other Ranar exposure unit users experiencing this?

Correction: it will be V4 that they will be sending me, if that makes a difference. Anybody?

Screen sits higher on one side of the platen than the other but the nut that looks like you would loosen to correct the problem, looks impossible to get to with a socket wrench or any wrench for that matter...

I just purchased the Ranar Primo Pkg. a few weeks ago and it was supposed to come with FilmMaker V3 RIP software by Cadlink but it apparently has been on backorder for sometime now. The Primo Pkg. did come with the Epson 1430, and upgrade from the 1400 advertised with the pkg. but it did come with t...
