blanket to impression, another click (s) increase

Do you know for sure that #2 is moving? Maybe #1 is shifting. Is it coated stock? I have, this problem before. Is your set up stock different from the job stock? Have you solved the problem?

I agree with Tom, there is a nut on the plate cylinder that be loose, on the op side. Thanks for the remider! Especially with coated stock.

contact dick contact dick Hi: Blankets are packed. Are the form rollers on? They get dropped on the gear side. You can pack the plates on that duplicator too. The blanket to impression is adjusted near the base of the hand wheel with an allen key. Do a stripe test on the form rollers to see...

evolution of systems is good evolution of systems is good Ok, I back off on my comment. Forinstance, sewing together a moltone dampener roller sucks, compared to a modern compac damener. And if you can come up with something new, good luck.

bells and whistles bells and whistles I remenber being told by instructers that a press with all the bells and whistles is no substitute for a trained and experienced operator.
