    Backup solution for Prepress files??

    Duncan, I've resorted to using high capacity external hard drive in an external shell, mine is NexStar. This external drive hooks up via a USB port and is lickitysplit. To be really safe, you should dual it up, use two (note to self!!!). Don't need to buy more than one external shell, the hard...

    RGP, thanks for the additional info on the blanket wash substitute. Yes I was using EcoloClean CD too, was great stuff!!! I was very bummed when they stopped making it a year or two ago, seems my troubles started shortly after. I was using the substitue straight, seemed to work pretty good that...

    the new ink form rollers helped, but the problem still persisted. replaced my Compac form roller too, that helped some more but still didn't cut the mustard. Switch back to plain blanket wash from a substitute that I had been using and that seems to help significantly. Just printed 11,000...

    I'm still stumped by this. Rechecked all of my pressures, everything is as light as I can make it. Switched back to using regular blanket wash, including the Kompac rollers. Was using "Suredot" on just the Kompac rollers, and a low vapor blanket wash substitute for the rest.

    Hi All, Great to see this place. Was researching a problem and stumbled in here and found some relevant info about "gear lines". I'm still stumped though. I don't see any side to side play in my form rollers, have checked all my pressures, correctly I hope. Tried a variety of solution strengths...
