Ah sad news for us, how will we wrap the fresh bread and other bakery items now?

It's definitely a Focus or Zooming issue,Ask your service guy to adjust the focus and zooming. Also let us know which CTP it is. Measure your plate thickness as well with a micrometer and see if its the same thickness as on the plate label. I hope this helps.

Does same apply for the PS files too? We sell a CTP brand and also provide a RIP free for one year, so we have to train new customers and as we are told to tell the customer that the best format to use is PDF, the problem starts where some customers still using old freehand files or corel draw...

Go to Youtube and a search a channel UGLY FLEXO by Frank Burgos. There you'll find your answer.

Great explanation D Ink Man, I as a pressman always tried to avoid printing metallic gold. I always used Metallic Silver and mixed some pantone colors to make imitation gold ink. It runs easily with fewer problems in ink water balance and also plate mileage increases.

Yes its possible but you'll loose the metallic feel of ink.

Are you doing weekly or fortnightly cleaning?

Looks like D Ink man's account is hacked.

I'm sure this wasn't for Erik. :D

and every print job is urgent when it's on press, though sometimes it stays in the postpress for weeks. No time for preventive maintenance.

but I only use water proof and fire proof paper.

I agree with you Turbotom.

Ignored. :confused:

Another old school eco friendly solution, if this is happening during makeready, just apply a small amount of coconut oil or cooking oil to the inked up rollers and carry on with makeready.:D I remember one of our senior pressman used to mix general purpose grease in ink to eliminate hickeys. :mad:

If I understand correctly you saw single color GTO's for around 6K mark. If that's the case then no, you cant link those GTO's. If you buy a single color GTO, you will have to run a four color Job 4 times (one color at a time). In GTO there are two different size models, GTO 46 and GTO 52. I...

Is it the same banana oil that we use in cooking?

A GTO of early 90's wont be much higher priced than 20K pounds.

In the long term your cylinder journals will be more prone to wear and tear and cause print quality issues. My suggestion would be to buy a GTO or SM52 , much more productive and reliable.

Alois, Most of our industry in Pakistan relies on operator skills rather than fancy devices, because the presses are too old by your standards. Even now a late 80s press imported here from Europe or America is considered new. Trend is now changing with some big players buying new presses. Also...

Hi Alois, I also never used these but know what they are for. I've worked on late 80s or early 90s presses and there wasn't any concept like this on those old presses. Regards Asif
