Daily Calibration With the MBL

The MBL should be printed directly after system start (as soon as the chemicals have reached their nominal temperatures) and should be repeated 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 start, the master paper must be inserted 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, run 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 which 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.
