    Printing Evolution - Thirty Years Past to Present

    Please listen to this to what I have to further offer here. In my reply yesterday to an offset failed print job, I gave an absolute means to find out why this problem occurred, and is continuing to occur. Any time you have an issue or problem you need 'to find out why'. It doesn't matter if you...

    Offset Print Job on Uncoated Paper fades within weeks for no known reason

    Back to the CG#5 printing problem. The methodology recommended will certainly 'find out why'. So you potentially have the means to do what I aforementioned in the previous paragraph. So, it is felt that now with this in possession, the answer will be revealed by the ink supplier, without the...

    Offset Print Job on Uncoated Paper fades within weeks for no known reason

    Most likely, your ink supplier is tipping that spot color with something other than the dastardly pAntone formula to give an acceptable match on the particular paper stock you are using. If truly it is the pigments of the pMS book formula, black and 072 blue, you should know these 'exact'...

    Yellow ink contamination?

    Excellent activity this morning around Print Planet. Like it and like turbotom1052's fresh and insightful contributions. I have missed you for a while. Also, did Gordo put up his comic strip of the week yesterday? Have not looked at home page for a while. Have a good week everyone. D

    Yellow ink contamination?

    Sincerely would like to say that turbotom1052 has given a perfect explanation of everything pertaining to this original post. Sir, you went beyond the points that I made with the focus on fixing it with ink alone. When I read your reply, I good goose bumps and there were tears in my eyes. Not...

    anyone use Hostmann ink on a ab dick?

    I believe this most likely will be your answer appleday. Now buy some, try it, and don't worry about the price. bugetms has 20 years experience and the ink is already touted as a winner. Respectfully, don't be a penny wise and a pound foolish. Nothing replaces experience and now you have it...

    anyone use Hostmann ink on a ab dick?

    Sir, I believe you might pay and the cost will be higher intrinsically. Just a guess and wish you the best of luck. D

    anyone use Hostmann ink on a ab dick?

    Give Van Son a little love if available. Now the piece, not the pieces have fallen in place. "1" press, a duplicator. Sorry for the history of the world. Maybe it helped some forum members as coincidence. Hope. D Ink Man

    anyone use Hostmann ink on a ab dick?

    appleday, would it be possible to name your other presses, besides the ad dick, and give an approximate usage of black only, 4/C process work and 2/C work for those presses? That can help narrow it down if you desire the least amount of ink types. We can go from there. Ink pricing can be...

    Yellow ink contamination?

    Random selection of a middleman ink supplied and lucking out into ink and/or rotation is not the long term solution. If you want to run that kind of mish mosh on your equipment, expect a short fuse going forward. Saphira brand is the trademark of the magic ink of change. When that resell decides...

    anyone use Hostmann ink on a ab dick?

    I have experience and I will tell you. > If you only have 2 choices with the aforementioned ink companies, I would say I smell a bean counter involved in the fray. I am sure it is not because of contractual agreement, correct appleday? $ Price sounds like somehow is involved here; just feeling...

    Yellow ink contamination?

    Gordo, ink vendors today are mostly numb, rather than a lean, start with a cold slap in the face. Really, the commercial ink companies do not provide service of this nature on any regular basis. Dem days is gone!. I would still suggest what I prescribed and than show the ink goons the sheets...

    Yellow ink contamination?

    Add transparent white to the yellow in 20% increments until the backtap stops. Report and collect ink sample to give to your ink supplier. Problem should be solved, if you have a reputable ink supplier. D Ink Man

    Customers without 5k lighting

    I guess that the assigners wanted the light closest to the Aurora Borealis, the great northern lights. Oh know, I should not have said that. There may be some big time print customers who demand they fly there for a color O.K. This could possibly include lodging at an ice hotel, a Viking or...
