The question was, when was the last time YOUR techs were back at the factory for training? It's a nice thought to think they sent all their techs over for training. It was too expensive and most only learned about German beer and schnitzel.

There is a roland mechanic in the minneapolis area that can service your press. Do you know where the press is coming from? Is it currently in operation at a plant now, and if so, do you know the customer? If the press is in the hands of a broker, you most likely aren't going to be able to...

Komori has many HUV presses running around the world, and is becoming very popular here in the states. There's less power consumption and lower initial costs due to only needing one lamp in the delivery. As of right now, the ink prices are comparable to standard UV inks but the word is that...

Then how can you ask for something that you have no idea about (the printing process)? a press isn't making 'widgets', a million of the same thing day in and day out. every job is different on a printing press. different stock, different coverage, blah blah blah. there are tons of variables...

so......... what you are saying is that you want the press to do your job for you? then I would say, buy an ink jet printer. and how do you suppose a press manufacturer is going to design a machine that will compensate for the 100's of different inks, solvents, fountain solutions, substrates...

kosmic.....I sense sarcasm kosmic.....I sense sarcasm attached is a photo of the pump for the sheet cleaner that's on my 700. The brush is in too far to get a picture of. and you're welcome............
