    Paper with silver coating for packaging

    Hello, I've been looking for cardboard paper with the silver coating inside, such as the ones used for takeaway noodles or other hot food. I am not sure if the coating comes with the paper ready from a paper manufacturer or if it's applied by using another method such as laminating or foiling...

    Information for Beiren MPQ 1040 die cutter

    Hello guys and girls, Anyone here owns or knows a company that owns this machine? They stopped producing them a while ago and therefore cannot help us with some technical issues (specifically the PLC programming of it) Our best solution is to find someone who owns this machine and copy the...

    Why do the Files sizes always increase

    I always used Illustrator for editing pdfs but I am no expert in the matter. So what do you guys use? Are there other options besides Acrobat Professional?

    Is offline spot UV possible on anything less than 130gsm ?

    There are two reasons why people don't reply to posts in this forum. Either nobody knows the answer to the question or the question is really dumb. I hope it's not the second one but if it is please let me know so that I can stop making a fool of myself!

    Is offline spot UV possible on anything less than 130gsm ?

    So far all the options that I have looked at for offline spot UV the paper specs are 130gsm and up. Are there any options out there for anything less (100-115gsm) ? Or are there any technical limitations that simply make this impossible?

    I wonder. Are all the enemies evil designers?

    Kodak Magnus 400 Autofeed Paper Disposal System. Bad design?

    The paper is disposed and yes the paper is released without the tweezers touching the rollers. Also we DO have the tweezers that look like a T and the problem now is that the soft rubber bands on the tweezers wear out very easily. I am not a service man but to my understanding the process has...

    Kodak Magnus 400 Autofeed Paper Disposal System. Bad design?

    The technicians used this method to adjust the x y movement. I have also observed the process myself. They don't seem to be pressing too hard on the plates and they are definitely not rubbing against the rollers. As I said at the beginning, in my opinion this system could have been designed...

    Kodak Magnus 400 Autofeed Paper Disposal System. Bad design?

    We only have one cassete (was a bad decision not to get a second one) and it's the one with the centre aligning brackets. I think the root of our problem is where we are based. Small country, small population, very few skilled service men, and seems none of them working for Kodak. :p But all...

    Kodak Magnus 400 Autofeed Paper Disposal System. Bad design?

    Hi, thanks for your replies, and to answer both: -We have tried multiple plates including Kodak Electra XL. -2 local technicians plus the regional Service director with a Kodak technician have taken a peek on the X Y settings with not much improvement -We most certainly don't have low humidity...

    Kodak Magnus 400 Autofeed Paper Disposal System. Bad design?

    We keep having problems with the automatic paper disposal system on our machine. Our Kodak rep insists that this is normal and we should just keep replacing the rubber tubes around the grabbers and the grabbers themselves. (I don't know how else to call them. They grab the paper with friction...

    Kodak Preps with multiple users on same PC

    Thanks everyone, the problem is solved. By changing the secondary user to an administrator, I was able to run Preps smoothly. So I guessed there must have been a configuration file somewhere that had to be open to secondary users. Giving permissions for the whole Preps directory didn't work...
