Title pretty much says it all. I have many clients experiencing extreme ink build-up on the tail edge of their blankets. Starting in around 5000 sheets and getting worse from there. Also transfering to back cylinders. Anyone else seeing this? If so were you able to solve it? Many manufacturers...

What could be some of the causes of dot gain on press??

Press is Roland 900 Ink is Flint Supreme Bio Blanket is Day 4000 Compressible Wash is Recycled and delivered with an auto wash system Short run printer Unigraph etch and sub Hope this helps??

What are some of the things that may cause blanket staining?? Even after a washup image is still on the blanket??

Hi All, Had a client show me a print problem today that I hadn't seen before. I'm looking for some help for myself and maybe a path for the client to go down to fix his issue? Job is plated and lay sheet is made with images for di-cut or foil stamp. When lay sheet is put on plates fit is bang...

The further the water has to travel can cause it to be warmer at the pans. Also some lines may pass pumps or motors that give off warmth or may keep the lines constantly warm? Hope this may help.

13 C is a good average temp for the fountain solution. Back in the olden days when the guys ran alcohol you ran the tank colder to slow down evaporation, plus it kept the beer colder on afternoon shift??

Unigraph is usually a very seamless change and has a ton of benefits. I ran it, then was the tech rep for it and now I sell it so I'm very familiar.

I'm sure that anyone running a press with individual Royce tanks has experienced at times minor to major foaming? Many things contribute such as tank size, turbulence, air, filters. Has anyone had fairly good success in minimizing or controlling the foam and if so how??

The cast blanket is smoother and what you would call non-poros. The buffed blanket would be rougher and poros after a final grinding down in manufacturing. I'm not a web guy at all and will check but for fun I'll take a shot?? Positive feed is maybe when top and bottom blankets pull the paper...

Anyone had the chance to run a press with wet rolls and a press with dry rolls? If so any differences, comparisons, advantages???
