Fingers crossed !

Representation from Dotworks says these start-up differently than your current plate. Run the plate dry prior to dropping the forms. The ink removes the image on these plates not the fount. Also DOP plates are much more calcium sensitive, so do a thorough roller clean and decal. Clean damp...

What press are they running on ?

Spinks Ink is a quality replacement for the Zipset/Tokyo inks. Quickset (oil), Acrylic and Rubber Base for smaller presses. The Titan line is the mid-size commercial ink, process ink if that is needed.

May 11 2010 the Pantone Plus System was introduced. Info below is from Pantone press release at the time and information provided to re-sellers. The PLUS SERIES Colors are printed using the same 14 Basic Color Inks as the PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM. One new difference – and advantage – is that all...

The majority of shops I go in these days, the pressroom manager doesn't even have a card to give me. The very people who should be showcasing their printing ability and creativity. Says a lot.

Curiosity, Thanks for the follow up. Glad it helped. Regular use will start offering more control of the press. We appreciate the opportunity you allowed us. Any questions, just ask

I'm insulted when I'm doubted. I also understand the skepticism. I do hope to earn your respect for our product. I want you to do research. I want you to learn about it. Feel free to ask questions. Please, start dialogue if the goal really is to help printers. Remember, we also learn when we...

I appreciate and fully respect your thoughts on the fine Bottcher products. Up until about four years ago I would concur with your endorsement. I feel Calcium Slayer & Flush is the finest roller cleaner/deglazer/decalcifier/ roller conditioner/ roller wash that has ever been. I also like...

Yes, I am. I am the co-creator of it. I sell it to distributors. On this forum I only speak of it when people seek a solution. It solves problems for offset printers and that's what this forum is for, I believe. All printers, of course, but I am offset focused.

The Febo and Calcium Fix are not effective enough, Curiosity. Trust me. No wash is going to do what it is capable until after The Slayer. 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.

Curiosity, You'll be fine. Wait until The Slayer arrives. After using it, the wash will do its job much better. No matter what wash you use now, it will not get the calcium out, because calcium is not water or solvent soluble, so it really can't get much else out. Trapped in your rollers right...

Chris, any photos to share ? How are they not cleaned as you feel they should be ? Ink stains ? Calcium build-up ? Paper left in rollers ? Understand that much "debris" in your rollers is NOT water or solvent soluble, so the thorough cleanings we desire are not always possible with the products...
