I'd expect that the 75 degrees celcius in the test process would be more than hot enough to re-wet the coating and cause blocking.

I've seen this happen if pneumatic pressure supply drops too low but only on later presses and always accompanied by an alarm. Do you have a big air leak on the 2nd unit impression or low supply? It's also the same behaviour as pressing the "halt" button so perhaps a fault with the one on the...

Can't speak for the XL but on a CD I used to have to make sure a row of fans were pushed back to help blow the sheet down onto the brakes, also we had an issue where the spray powder extraction hood was actually sucking lighter sheets upwards so we had to either turn off powder extraction or...

I've used Testdisk a few times and had great results recovering files from dodgy disks. It's free but not the most user friendly. Good luck! TestDisk - CGSecurity

I used Allstar fount a few years ago on Heidelberg CD102 presses in the UK. We intended to go reduced alcohol but bit the bullet and ran alcohol free. The only major problem we had at the time was when the ambient temperature in the pressroom was particularly high we would struggle to keep small...

I used the online font convertor at Online font converter to produce both .pfb and .afm from the truetype file. Then used "afm to pfm" from AfmToPfm for Adobe PostScript fonts to produce the pfm file to install font to windows.

What is the printing process?

Oooops! Try this.

Hi Kala, I thought about this again to try to something other than a workaround. I converted the truetype font to postscript type 1 and installed that. Deleted the truetype and installed the ps font and it seems to work ok now when creating pdfs directly from Pagemaker. I've attached the ps...

I installed Pagemaker 7 on Windows 7 x64 to try this. When I printed to a pdf (I use pdf creator) the font had jumped. So I tried printing to the Microsoft XPS document writer which seemed to come out ok. Then, from the Windows 7 xps viewer I printed to pdf and it came out ok, the font hadn't...

SEK errors I believe are related to the safety control board. Try opening and closing ALL press guards and push and release ALL the nip bars on the press. See if that helps rectify the problem.

I work at a UK company that applies cold foil inline with UV litho. The result is very effective.

Are you based in the UK? What type of packaging are you producing?

Haven't found one so far but I'll keep an eye out for you.

I've read that "Impression" is quite a low-tack ink which may suit LWC. May help eliminate fit problems caused by tack stretching the lighter weight sheet.

The CD102 has double size impression cylinder and triple size transfer cylinder which gives the sheet a smoother path through the press. The SM102 has a larger number of smaller cylinders to pass the sheet meaning more bend to the sheet and more gripper changes. CD can run thicker stock with far...

Paul is spot on. Even if you don't have IR, running the sheets back through the press to aerate will help the drying process. I've always found that the ghosting disappears over time. However it's usually long after the job is delivered!

We used to use VS5. It ran OK but occasionally had big hue differences between batches.

Information I have from Bottcher lists Komori Lithrone/Sprint 28 as 51Nm - 37 ft pounds. see file attached

Hi Dave, Did you ever get this nailed down?
