the next regulation could be devastating. pcbs are going to be regulated out of existence.

Veritive was stocking virtually no Neenah lines using mill orders only. Neenah decided to support the stocking dealers. Neenah supports the dealers whom support them. A very simple concept that Veritive forgot. Veritive has elected to go bigger in packaging they just added a 400,000 square foot...

Can horizon MC80A and MC8A collating towers be used together.

I have seen this problem before with Agfa no chem plates. It did not appear until October of 2017. The plate processor speed was set at 50cm per minute We slowed the speed to 38cm per minute. The problem has never appeared again. The plates were manufactured in 2 different facilities...

How long has the paint dried? When putting on vinyl you need to wait at least 4 weeks for the paint to gas off. If the dyne of the painted service is too low UV ink would just flake off. After the paint has dried use some 1000 grit sandpaper to rough up the surface so your ink has somthing to...

Hi Danny I snet you a private message. Joyce

I have been Fuji, Agfa, Kodak plate facilities. The Plate were all cut on paper cutters. The blade angle was different than for paper cutting. You can cut about 20 plates a a time using chipboard on top and bottom of the stack. I would start out doing 5 at a time and increase 5 at a time...

Recyling in the US is in BIG trouble. Inkjet,Indigo, UV printing are part of the problem. Quote from Axel Fischer of INGEDE In Europe it is different, here "undeinkable papers" (and this includes UV and Indigo) is banned from paper for deinking according to the EN643. It has to be kept...

look at msds and sds sheets along with patent information this will give you a basis for the components.

The big thing will it save production cost? If it does how much? A percentage point or 2 is insignificant unless you are a very big player. If it can improve quality would you even be able to notice a difference unless it is standing next to a piece printed printed at 175lpi? Points to ponder.

Where did this come from? I see no logic in this. If I have 10% image on the plate I must use a different pigment load than a 42% image on the plate!!! This makes no sense.

After reading it is apparent there are innumerable variables to overcome and maintain to control the process. Wouldn't any type of substrate contamination eventually get on the silicone belt.

D ink man you remind me of Dr. Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory.

D Ink Man air and water are an essential part of the lithographic process. Using air and water to squirt ink does have its place, it is still printing just doesn't require an imaged carrier to transfer ink.

The last show I attended was 2006. There is noticeably almost no offset presses as compared to my last show. It is quite obvious that there is belief that digital can save print. Before I would commit a large percentage of my production to digital it would be wise to check on what avenues...
