Re: werid maco 820 IR problem

["paul vandepitte" <paulvandepitte@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I once had the same problem with TMAX-sheet. Beleive me, it has nothing to 
do with MACO, I think. In my case, I remebered at the moment of the problem 
that the sheets I used came from thr fridge and were probably too cold. Then 
you get condense on the sheet, wich make them stick... Also, If you use a 
loading bag to load sheets, you have to pay attention that sweat isn't 
increasing the humidity within the bag and causes condense on the sheets or 
the holders...

I hope this may help you...

Sincerely!
