face Standard (APIS) cable between the Avantra and the RIP is of suffi-
cient length. Verify that all network and interface cables are of correct
length for other equipment to be installed (e.g., scanners and front-
ends).
• Densitometer–a required tool for producing high quality film separa-
tions. Overall exposure and dot gain of the imagesetterneeds to be
checked to insure optimum and repeatable results. If a customer does
not currently own a densitometer, one may be purchased from a
graphic arts dealer. A transmission densitometer is needed to measure
film, and a reflective model for paper.
• Light Table–a table surface of at least 54x72 inches is strongly recom-
mended for viewing separation films produced on the Avantra.
