    HP Designjet 5500 Bloated Cartridges

    The printer uses air to squeeze the ink out of the cartridge. We use to get this from time to time. I think it was mostly if the machine crashed or a power failure and the printer on startup pumped up the cartridge again. generally it should not have an adverse effect as the ink would only be...

    Image REs and Line screen

    I have never liked supercell. if you are mixing the percentages like 10% and 12% to get a pseudo 11% this will only look goo with one or two steps available. as you climb higher in the LPI the fewer levels of grey are available. If you start mixing 1% and 4% to get 2% or 3% there is some...

    Lotem and Trillian plates paper

    the assumption that the paper is sticking to the bottom of the plates would be different. however that is not what I am reading. How would they babysit the machine and take the sheets out manually if it was the sheet under the plate in question. that would require them to know when the machine...

    Lotem and Trillian plates paper

    I did read the post. The problem is the paper not being removed before the plate enters the drum causing it to jam. firstly our system checks to see if the paper has been picked up. secondly the tech reps tried 3 time to adjust the pad heights. each time the did their adjustment they then...

    Lotem and Trillian plates paper

    so let me get this straight. the tweezer did not pick up the paper and move it to the chute. The paper continued to with the plate and went on to the drum. and you think that this is not a tweezer problem??? I do wonder about the people on this forum. I have tried to helps several times and the...

    Lotem and Trillian plates paper

    we had a similar problem when the machine was first installed. It was a used machine but in very good condition. The slip sheets would either not get picked up or would not fully go down the chute. The pinch nip pads were finally replaced and adjusted. These pads are on the fingers that pick up...

    what causes gripper to tail end color difference

    There can be several reasons. but we would have to examine the whole aspect of the job. stock, grain, rollers settings, etc. if the problem is only on this job then check the fit (register) of the job. it is possible that the paper is fanning out on the tail end of the sheet causing a flash of...

    Kodak Trillian SP Help!

    Hi Gulli, We have a similar issue. I have a couple of questions. Do you have toning/scum on the plates when you start-up? (we do) Does RC95 plate cleaner get rid of it? We found a light wipe will remove both the scum and the soreness of the plate. however the run length drops to 20k or 30k...

    initial impression count

    I am looking for what the impression count was on your press when first installed. and whether or not there were startup problems with the press. I would like to see if there is a correlation between higher initial impressions (had problems in factory) and problematic startup in the customer...

    Linotronic 300 Gradient problems

    when you say that the dots do not merge smoothly, do you mean that there is banding? most of the software is migrating up to PS level 3 these days. In illustrator you would have to save to a legacy format going back to about version 8. you could also try sending it to Acrobat distiller and...

    "liquid metallic" or "liquid foil" ink?

    it may have been printed on the MAN Roland with a foiling unit. It looks like it is a printed foil because it uses a printed plate with "glue" in the first unit to have the foil "stick" to the sheets in the second unit. Its a very cool process.

    CMYK into 2 Spot Colors

    I know that the forum may chastise me too but I would recommend using a metal FX technique. Use PMS877 silver and a golden or orange PMS overprinting to get the metallic feel to the entire piece. The inner circle should not be greater that say 50% of the silver so that us can use the three...

    230 Line Screen Banding

    Perceptible banding will go away with super cell structures however you will not get 100% predictable dot placement therefore you will develop artifacting on your screen tints. if this acceptable then fine. most of the customers won't notice it. The reason why multi/cuper cell creates the...

    230 Line Screen Banding

    is the problem only in photoshop? you do know that photoshop if in 8 bit colour mode will only give you 256 shades for each colour channel. by comparison Illustrator EPS format in Postscript level 3 (PS3) will give you 4096 shades per colour. The problem in photoshop comes with the length of...

    Preps Templates for a Web Press

    out of curiosity how do you guys incorporate the mooring bars? We use the zero setback in preps also but full roll width to get our bars in. is there another way? The platesetter takes care of the setback for each bender.

    105XL CD operators

    are you running with the form rollers oscillating? are you running heavy coverage that would allow these rollers to move more ink to the ends of the rollers? this may be a silly question but are you using tray liners for the cd 105 or are you taking ones from a cd 102?
