When imaging close to the clamps with a Thermal 2 head, the clamps block the focus laser from
reaching the plate. The concept of a clamp shadow has been added so that focus is held during
those times.
From measurements taken in the lab, roughly the first 360mils of the plate at the leading edge
is in this shadow (240mils under the leading edge clamp, plus 120mils in the imagable area).
Because of possible machine differences, and also the chance of having to image plates with punch
holes in the imagable area, the clamp shadow has been added to NVS.
Changing this value can cause focus artifacts. It should only be changed after consultation with the
Trendsetter News core team.
