I'm looking for spare cores to purchase for my press. Mike (414) 587-5956 [email protected]

Anyone using this Zero VOC fountain Solution? If so, are you on R.O.? What's your ounces per gallon and what press platform? Clean startups? Just looking for general rhetoric about the product. Thanks, Michael

Apex Postal Technologies Model 1095 Magnetic stamp gauge, Version B Anybody know where to buy this old reader or have it serviced? Can't find much on it.

more capacity for a contracting market segment. Just what we all need.

Clemens: I think you may be referring to two different styles. I'd refer to them as blankets and sleeves. Sleeves are steel, nickel, or fiberglass based tube that enters the manufacturing process to be converted with rubber. As rich said, the sleeve goes over the cylindar with compressed air...

What's your experience with using a true 60% solid like Dow Corning Silicone vs. every Tom, Dick, and Harry product that's a blend with different surfactants and polymers for offset printing? I ask cause the oil is in demand by electronics and solar....

I buy a lot of paper packing. I pretty sure it's all we use for web offset. I'll have to ask the crews about the underblankets? Strange, some plants like the packings long grain, and some use them short grain so the packings don't ride up the blanket. Can cause crack out on plate.

I prefer Rotadyne for USA for run ability and performance. Several rubber compouds, and depending on my chemistry will swell less than 5% normally. They buy SKF bearings direct, and SKF does not sell to many companies direct. Most of the plants I've seen have a good ratio of capacity, low...

Yeah, but ceramic will carry the water better if maintained. and, the ceramic is not a carcenigenic process like Chrome so good move environmentally, and per my studies...I've had ceramic water pan rollers in press for 5+ years where my chrome will start to "rust" or deteriorate after about 6...

Yes, SKF is by far the best I've seen. We're currently testing a non-greese bearing from Peer manufactured in Thailand. SKF just recently acquired Peer. For our "BE" presses. We use a bearing puller and re-use most of our SKF bearings as they rarely fail and burn up the journals. We purchase...

Exactly, our UV cures right in line. Our only problem over the years was the bulbs we received from either the dealer or the maintenance tech that were causing issues.
