Anyone out there have a JP5P540 Akiyama Press? What are your thoughts on it?

Sorry, I meant an 8 color Press. And yes, would you give your Pressman 1600 sheets for makeready on a 8 color sheetwise job? If so, I think you need to rethink your Pressmans skills before they put you out of business.

Do you have another Press that you can put these same plates on to eliminate the plate issue?

Cheetoh, We are a very high quality comercial sheetfed shop. Our Presses are very fine tuned and dialed in. 150-200 sheets per unit for a make ready is rediculous. So if yo had a 6/C sheet wise job you would give 1600 sheets for a make ready? I am not including run spoilage in the 80 sheets you...

Are the blankets loose? Are they over packed? Is the stock distorted (wavy) or not square on the gripper edge? try increasing the gripper bite by maxing out the head stops to the most foward position to gain more grip.

We use the rule of 80 sheets per printing unit. We have two 6/C CD102 Presses.

Only the magenta unit is gaining? Are the other colors within tolerance?

Cyan unit blanket and or plate are definatly over packed wich will cause the image to shrink.

Yep. Put a claim in on monday for McCoy Silk cover. Surface defects. Looked like craters in the stock. As usual the rep played dumb like it was the first time that he has seen the problem.

A little expensive, but consider your 3 to 4 days of drying time or missing due dates, its a drop in the bucket. Well worth it. It put this stuff in my inks that I run on matte rigid vinyl and I am cutting and delivering the job the next day. Give it a try. Let me know how you make out.

Speedy dry is an ink additive. SpeedyDry Be sure to follow the directions. Too much is dangerous. Offline varnish should not burn out the ink pigments. You should have your ink manufacturer make all your match colors coatable to eliminate that problem.

Add a product called speedy dry, works excellent. Also an offline varnish would help.

Are you using wax free inks? Too much alcohol substitute in the water will also cause this problem.

We usually put down 2 hits of opaque white and dry trap the other colors on top. I agree with your statement "always have time to reprint"!!! Good Luck!

We do this application all the time. We foil stamp and spot uv over it. We use C&A soft feel. Hope this helps.

Not per physical units, I meant per printing unit. If it were a 10 color job, then yes 800 sheets for the make ready. If it were a 6 color job then 480 sheets and so on.

We are a high quality sheetfed shop that have gotten our Pressman down to 80 sheets per unit.
