Thanks Alois

we are experiencing stripping and emulsification cause i suspect that guys have been adding finishing gum to the fount sol. So , i am not intending to add any gum but rather am trying to figure out why some would add gum to the tanks. Thanks for the reply.

Hi All This is a theoretical question, is there anybody out there that could tell me the type of problems that would occur if finishing gum were to be added to the fount solution? The ratio of 1L to a 90L tank. Any bit of advice would help. Thanks:(

Thanks JB,

Hi All Are there a certain amount of impressions recommended for/before replacing grippers on the pincher bar? Does anybody know where I'll be able to find such information? Any bit of help would be appreciated. Cheers

Hi Guys We would like to try running some light weight stock through our SM102 10 col press. The stocks we are trialling is between 40gsm and 60gsm coated and uncoated. Is there anybody out there that able to tell me what sort of problems were encountered and what speeds are possible . Do we...

Hey coastline , if you could supply me with more info that would be great.

We use Heidelbergs technotrans system.

For the past 6 months we have been printing without IPA. The results have been really good the only problem we now have is that the waters are getting really dirty and we now have to dump it at least twice a week. Are there any ideas as what type of filtration system suits best? Is it possible...

Air settings are critical on the feeder. Also climatise your stock to your pressroom. We run 40gsm on our SM102 and had all sorts of creasing problems and sheets dropping. I had extra taps installed where we could control the air over and around the perfector that sorted our probs. Runs without...

Good on ya turbo. I have inquired about plates and blankets(coating unit) and shall see where we end up.

I have been told that using this type of coating would be tricky so we"ll be on guard. Our presses are equipped with hot air knives. Please confirm if I would able to run this coating as a spot coating. I have been told that it is not possible.

The clients are informed, some of them are just unreasonable. We are running this job on a MQ sheet using a satin matt stock. We use 20 or 22 micron powder both are normally fine to use. Press is a Xl. No probs with spray unit. 130000 sheets multi sigs so you can see why I want this job done as...

Thanks for your reply Turbo, this is the way we normally do it. What I am interested to find out is if anybody out there is doing it differently. Perhaps there are other products that can be utilised. This way takes way to long plus the potential for setoff. gas ghosting, etc is great as clients...

in the near future we will be printing a duo tone job. The client specifies that he wants a spot overgloss printed over all his pics. Any suggestions to the best way for doing this? We have printed jobs in the past but find that the pics come out sandpapery because of the amount of spray powder...
