I'm running an HP Latex 360, and it's a very easy machine to use with very good quality. Not sure about costs, but definitely my favorite machine.

It is a much better idea to have the marks on a job to get the best cut possible, but you can cut a job with out the marks on it by reading the edge of the substrate. I'm not sure what the rated accuracy of the machine is with out the marks, but it is possible.

haha!!!!!!

HS boyd makes litho perf/score The die gets mounted to the back cylinder.

I personally would look into flexo for this, it should meet your requirements. Also are you sure this substrate is breathable?

If i had to guess I'd say the ink isn't dry enough to put it back through the press yet. Wind the sheets and let them sit for a bit then try again.

Ha Ha Ha Ha

not sure about what equipment you might want to look into but if your going to look into a CNC machine you are going to have to look into a good air ventilation system because the router is going to make a HUGE mess of your shop. We do plastic board and paper on that type of stuff and it all...

Chemistry free plates are not made for UV. The most I've heard was about 10,000 imps for some and as low as 2,000 for others.(can't remember which ones off the top of my head right now)

How many revolutions are you running with the water form on before you start up? The ecomaxx-t plate develop with alcohol sub, so if they aren't starting up well try adding a little more sub to your fountain solution.

For me this ink seems to work very well on uncoated stock but when we run it on coated stock with out aqueous coating it we get a lot of chalking/drying issues. It seems pretty consistent batch to batch and runs pretty well in a wide water range. Overall not my favorite ink but not really that...

I've seen issues like this when ink tracks back onto the chrome or metering roller on a two chrome water system. The idea is that ink, being hydrophobic, that builds up in the water rollers stops the water from transfering properly. My suggestion would be when you get this problem completely...

I use fuji's Ecomaxx-t plates, and the calabration is done right after its burned by wiping the plate clean with an alcohol sub and water mix to clean the plate, after that you can measure anything you want. If your checking every plate or every set this probably wouldn't work for you but in...

Hey Gordo, did you ever get a chance to run this test? If so is there a link to the results?
