It's the dichro. Someone had put some funny low-wattage, long-life
bulbs in there, though -- when one finally blew and I had to replace
them all, it ran so much hotter it melted off some black contact paper
which had been used to ****m the assembly for light tightness!
My Chromega 10x10 head is actually on a Durst Laborator 138 which was
one of several adapted for use printing highway signs by a company in
Toronto. It came with motorized raise/lower and focus and a 50" coiled
between the motor control box and the remote control -- it's hard to
imagine what it must have been like to use in that configuration. The
company sold them off on eBay as they wore out and converted to
Lightjet units, I believe. I got one of the earlier ones, so I probably
overpaid, but it's worked well for me for about 10 years now though it
has some loose bits and other quirks I would think would have made it
annoying for daily commercial use.
