Do you have a general list of parts?........Please let me know or I could email you list and pics of what i need. jack

Gidgit: I have the same Heidelberg presses......I recently bought (via ebay) the (polyplate) heidelberg QS-350 with the Glunz & Jensen processor (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT) and I am VERY VERY happy with this unit.......Before I made the purchase I had was using the same model platesetter EXCEPT it...

Looking to enter the 4-color arena and the reasons I am looking at the Ryobi 3304 is: - I have a polyplate system that will make plates for this size press - i am already outsourcing work to a shop that is doing all my 4-color work on this type press. 1- Will I be able to produce quality work...

I need help.....I run poly plates using Total Chrome Free by Varn as my fountain solution........For example, I will run red and black all day on the same press without any issues of toning, scumming or ANYTHING...... The other day I ran this job on 70# Cougar natural text.........the only...

We are in the market for a pre-owned SM-52-2 and would appreciate any feedback that would assist us in making a more intelligent purchase. What "things" should we be looking at? Are there any known "quirks" about SM52's that came out in 1999?........Can we still get good quality and production...

I need to change the bearings on a water form roller (unit 1) of a QM-46-2. Any suggestions on how I can take this roller apart?.........A new roller costs in the area of 800.00 and of course I would rather find a more economical way to salvage my roller.

Re: QM-46-2 control panel goes blank I will try all your suggestions and "hope" one of them works. In the meantime I am still open to "NEW" suggestions.

Re: CTP machines and heat I came across a similar situation since we are on the top floor and the room heats up and stays heated. We purchased one of those storage sheds from Lowes (I AM SURE HOME DEPOT SELLS THEM).....anyway, the shed (8' x 10') houses our ctp system and we have a stand alone...

Re: Polyester Plates Babylon: I am a very loyal Heidelberg customer.......I personally would not have any other press in my shop. I am fascinated and sold by the Heidelberg craftsmanship..... When I go to the print shows, Graph Expo especially, I spend most of my time at the Heidelberg booth...

Re: Polyester Plates I wish there was a way to filter vendors from putting in their "2 cents"..... Isn't this forum supposed to be about printers and NOT vendors?. For example , in this thread,....Heidelberg has to step in and give their "2-cents, more like 1-cent"......Lets be real! Do you...

For no apparent reason while in the print mode the press simply stops and the lights on the control panel just go blank. I then have to turn the press off and on to bring back all the panel lights.... then I have to remove the plate and place it back on the press because the press. This problem...

We are looking for a new CTP system for our soon to have SM52-2....... chem-free metal is not within our budget. We are avoiding the Ptek (2-up) devices because I am hearing more negative than positive....... what is the community's opinion and/or experience with the PlateStream 46 Color+. They...

Re: Heidelberg GTP 52-4P I found it very helpful to post my concerns......after some consideration I decided that the GTO 52-4 was not for me (at any price).......I have decided to narrow my choice to either the SM52-2 or the Komori Lithrone....leaning more towards the Komori.
