Hi I am retired printing manager/pressman located in London Ontario if you want to send me some sheets I have the equipment to measure and report back to you or I can loan you my Spectro/Densitometer if you wish. let me know thanks

What press are you running, is the issue ink density variation caused by either ink/water, what experience level is your pressman

Someone please explain the first line of this press description where it says Komorimatic Just so I can be educated, many thanks https://www.mlge.com/pages/Printing-Press-Detail.cfm?PressID=263

Some Komoris have whats called 'Delta Effect' dampening, This has the effect of reducing hickeys on the plate by gearing the forme dampener roller to a slightly slower speed than the plate cylinder. Is this why you are seeing a speed difference in the roller, Just a thought

Some questions to help the group with suggestions Type of drying-- Heatset, UV, EB? Is this a new problem, Any changes to ink/plate supplier or other press materials supplier Problem on all units and all colours? Cheers

Ha yes always used to see the apprentice standing outside the maintenace shop for a 'Long Weight'

when running uncoated sheets we used to 'Dust and size' as we termed it, bascially run the sheets through the press using the blankets to grab onto any loose particles then lay down a very thin coating of ink Extender(size) on the last unit.

I'm back to the 3 Shells myself

Your inference that I am exaggerating my claims is rather insulting. Oh dear you have to indicate to me how I insulted you please. Its just when someone uses the the old standby words 'game changer' and puts their product at a higher level than a competitor on these forums I feel we need to...

ok thanks, I see you have said Febo and Calcium Fix are not effective enough, could you supply us the data that you used to make this statement and if you would like to PM me the name of the printer in Ontario with the 40" Heidelberg you quoted I would like to get in touch with them to research...

Most of the people on here are not even aware of the product so they don't get how awesome it is. You will soon know. CSF are you an agent/seller of this product you are talking about

what have you tried so far, maybe a softer/harder blanket might transfer a better dot it is after all where the rubber meets the road

You might need to try another type of Blanket

well heres my 2 pence worth. When you switch to a alcohol free fountain solution you may have to pay more attention to your press settings and maintenance. Do you have a durometer guage to check your rollers hardness, are you using a conductivity meter to measure/maintain your fountain...
