The edge of a plate always never runs clean and will lay ink at the plate edge on the blanket. This ink is not transferred to the printed sheet - it is outside the sheet area. The build up of ink will migrate to the other print unit - the T-Head will pick up the parent press color and vice...

It is far more common to reduce tack than increase it and you should be able to get a tack reducer (or increaser) from your ink supplier. Start at a dozen drops if it is a liquid; a jellybean size if it is gel for an amount if ink to allow a quarter inch bead along the ink fountain. As there is...

Not sure about that...a lift (of cards) at both ends of the clamp? The blade comes down at an angle and the sideways sweep of the blade should be into the stack, not pushing it away from the side of the bed. Put another way, if the blade sweeps down and right, the stock should be in against the...

Having (two) an Accuset 1000 in use for years I asked this question and was told the drive cannot be cloned. I did not understand why; perhaps it involves "may have an Aga propietary file system". In these forums Vlad_Canada may have the answer, but I would suggest calling the fellow here -...

Yes, it is possible to have bad register between colors in digital printing.

Spec's like the OP's make me cringe at the ubiquity of "free estimates". We've all been there; 'nuff said.

On my 6501 it was typically a problem with the receding stacker going too far down (with lightweight stock), or the LCT failing to properly forward a 14pt/300+gsm.

The horse is out of the barn, so to speak, but if this is a common scenerio having the flaps open would have made this a "single pass" run. You can open flaps pretty quickly holding a lift in one hand and sliding/nestling (from the sealed edge) singles under the next flap. Kind of tough to...

There's a good chance you can buy open flap envelopes. I know for certain #10's are available open flap (from Western States Envelope).

Cleaning the impression cylinder with solvent? - stop. IMO the residue from solvents increases the cylinders affinity for ink; I did it for years. The guy I worked with cleaned the cylinder with Pro-3 (?) fountain concentrate and had much less, if no problem, with build up on that cylinder. It...

We've had a Rosback 880 (?) PB running for roughly 30+ years. Aside from having the grinding blade sharpened, I haven't seen it serviced in the 20 years I've been in the same building. . We don't do a ton of Perfect Binding, but have been a trade bindery for 30+ years. The cycle time on the...

Is the bail bar in place? AB Dick has a lightweight and heavyweight bail bar. Move the Bail Bar forward (for lightweight stock, back for heavy stock). Snug up the back-stop (at the back of the pile).

Not with our high-speed punch.

You would need to UV coat, not varnish.

Wouldn't trapping be applied as in any other scenerio, at the RIP? If you built a trap into a PS file which was later scaled the trap would be incorrect.

Just hot water imo. Be mindful to drain any filter canisters. I have experienced poly plate scratches due to old bushings in the racks.

I have swapped out Inverter boards while troubleshooting a gremlin. I have a newer, smaller style. I had a second machine with a larger board. I made detailed diagrams of the wire colors and everything went fine. I don't recommend it for the faint of heart, if you are of the mind, I think you...

Stop using the Desktop. It's rings of people who cannot navigate a simple folder system. (What's on my desktop? Nothing.) We are a small shop with perhaps thousands of customer files archived. I have mapped a drive on the network and named it Customer Files. You can create a "Customer Files"...

I've used an Accuset 1000 for 10+ years for poly plates. Plate material from AB Dick/Presstek/Marc Anthony - Item 66534, Megapro-LD 5 mil poly, Spec 820, 13.3 in x 200 ft rolls. (These machines are not spec'd to cut thicker material.) I cut with a Dahle Cut Cat mat cutter. Roll up the plate run...
