Hi guys,
We've been trucking along with our CET UV XPress 500 since December and have been having great results on a variety of surfaces. Super happy with the machine.
Just the past week or so we started getting random color banding, particularly with cyan. A call to our CET dealer suggested replacing the "last chance filters"...one replacement of which they included with the machine when purchased. I swapped that one in the cyan line and that fixed most of the problems with the banding, but for good measure figured I'd order the other four filters...turns out they're $64 apiece via our dealer. YIKES.
So here I am with a full set of new filters installed in the machine, but I'd like to find out what they are so that next replacement I don't have to fork over $64 apiece. I did some research and found that they're Pall Acro filters, the "Acro 37 Last Chance Filter, Black Polypropylene Housing" with Luer-Lok fittings, but it looks like there are several different filter strengths...from the Pall catalog, they come in:
LCF-21110 HDC II (6 um) Female Luer-Lok compatible
LCF-22110 HDC II (10 um) Female Luer-Lok compatible
LCF-23110 HDC II (20 um) Female Luer-Lok compatible
LCF-24110 Rigimesh (18 um) Female Luer-Lok compatible
Does anyone have any idea or suggestions on which of these filter strengths would be the ones I want? Unfortunately there are no markings on the existing housing except for "Inlet" on one side.
Here's a link to the Pall catalog if that helps:

Thanks!
