I use old film under any cutting rule that is not getting through; it has less chance to fail before the end of a run. The best way would be to spot make ready under the jacket but rolling the jacket off and on is a chore and more guesswork than one platen. I suppose to do it correctly you would...

You're noticing the characteristics of how a cylinder press operates vs a platen. A platen has to develop enough force for the total area being impressed all at one moment whereas the cylinder accomplishes the task throughout its revolution cycle. A score on a platen requires force equal to the...

Assuming you mean crease as opposed to score: Either way doesn't seem to pose any problems. It seems easy and fast enough to check. There's no way imo that coating will injure the Morgana; likewise, run scored sheet through the (offline?) coater.

That's never happened. I've had fair results drop feeding into our Horizon stitcher, trimmer, folder set to half fold.

Did the customer ever see a booklet like this or did another design professional just try to out-do their peers again?

The form rollers are old, need to be replaced. #2 form is usually the first to get maxed out.

You might have a sheet tabbed at both edges. You would want to crease for a hand fold while die cutting the tabs if so. I can't imagine machine folding a tabbed front edge. What kind of qty?

The blanket (to) impression is set via the hole beneath the handwheel. You should have an allen wrench with an angle (45°). Best practice is just enough impression (pressure) for a good print. It "should" be adjusted every job, if the paper thickness changes. Tight for bond, way out for heavy...

Blanket low spot(s) comes to mind. Do you have blanket fix? You blanket is a 3 ply? That's about .065 as I recall. They tend to smash pretty quickly compared to the 5 ply used with Itek & Ryobi. Confirm that you plate chemistry is fresh (enough) and at proper temperature; probably 85 F. Don't...

It wasn't too long ago I was using an Accuset 1000. I recommend http://www.imagesetters.net/index.html

Well uh yeah... it's whiskey

Glad to hear you found your solution. Fwiw I spent a lifetime with the lightweight springs. Perhaps text weight would not curl up against them as opposed to the heavier set. For the last three years in a new shop they basically insist on the heavy springs. I can't win all my battles so that is...

Adaptive cruise control is pretty cool. I think cruise control should be mandatory on highways. I'm curious if my Chevy has that spark to start feature or uses the starter. I think I'll Google it. ​​

I'm going to disagree with the idea of packing. I have 20 years with the 975 but not the pfa model. (I have peers who have had this machine forever.) pfa is perfector correct? Blanket to blanket for impression, no true impression cylinder. Because of the blanket to blanket impression they, to...

I wouldn't say it is okay for the T-Head to touch the parent press ink but it is common. Ideally they would not. Run a few (hundred or thousand) jobs and have to stop and wash-up midway or twice during a run and it will make more sense. Let's clarify Tack - It is Tack, not TAC. (TAC is reserved...
