What has not been mentioned is the Crestlines - Nightly, after wash-up, spin the knurled knobs counter-clockwise to alleviate the pressure of the meter roller to the pan roller. (Spin them back down next day for running.)

I'm not beyond keeping a client satisfied. I'll contact my ink supplier.

Have done several runs of a flood back business card. The client must be noticing rub when keeping them in a wallet as they are now requesting Dull Aqueous flood over the back. Do they really think small offset printers have Dull Aqueous capability? After several long deep sighs I mentally...

I'd like to know more about this. I printed crappy grayscale images for years. "Out of the box" conversion of color to gray has never impressed me. I simply open in PS, convert to gray, and make some (eyeball) adjustments. I love the history tool. Instant gratification.

I have had to use the log for situations similar to the OP I would think these are the counts you are being billed for; just a guess. If it shows more counts than you think, it would be worth looking into.

Anyone have much to say pro or con for Unibind Steelbooks? We dabbled in it many years ago but the customer service was not able to satisfy real-world needs. I occasionally take in an order for a few books. A client wants 300 books. The sample they brought with them appears to be a Unibind...

After 15 years running a press I became allergic/sensitive to everything my hands were exposed to. My skin would be bleeding. The dermatologist rattled several conditions/phrases. In reality, I don't have the time/inclination to put on a glove for all the actions I need to perform with my hands...

Just to add my $.02 The amount of coating you are using is determined by the upper roller pressure. Engage tighter, less coating. (Engage too tight and it will pop out in my experience) The blade cleans the lower roller.

I've been corrected on this, but for the copper roller Ajax (or generic scouring powder) & water does wonders. I did not know about blue etch at the time, but blue etch is an appropriate finish for any (rubber) roller that is intended to run clean/without ink. No Blue Etch for the copper roller

I'd take the catering deal!

Brilliant.

Toner recovery box full or not performing correctly? Have your service tech check your machine.

imho few people can design attractive materials. I would further suggest that creative minded persons are less adapt at the nuts & bolts technical details involved in imposition, color management and equipment upkeep and operation. (That CTP needs cleaning and maintenance.) If there is enough...

In my experience the older the rollers, the more common the problem. When I get new rollers, it could be over a year before the crossbars build up. A second machine in my shop had to be cleaned constantly.

Have you checked and set the forms to oscillator stripes? That's going to be more important than the form to plate stripe. I've been known to lift one form lever & run with either 1 or 2 forms to track down stuff like this.

Total undercut is .98 The manual specs the blanket at 2.5. (That's mm 2.5 x .3937 = .984) 5 ply blankets have "changed" over the years. I have 5 ply blankets from years back, don't ask me why I keep them. They are 101, 103 & 105. That really messes with the running length when they change.:(

The are good answers in this forum, but for my Fiery specific questions I also check here EFI Fiery Forums Fiery SeeQuence Impose offers Gang Up but to my limited understanding can only look at a multi page file, not a folder. You might use Acrobat to Create a PDF of a full folder, than process...

With AA 9 - the menus are different, but the idea is the same. I create a Fixup From the Fixup Category I select Color Spaces, Spot Colors, inks In the Type of Fixup I find Convert to Spot Color The dialog shows Color Model - Source Color Value - Tolerance I choose a source of 65 (black or gray)...

What type of print & paper? Coated - cmyk? I've been small press only for 25 years. Stay open inks are about all I use anymore without trouble but only on uncoated stock. All my stay opens have been labeld - For Uncoated Stock Only. As far as a quick press check - Run your finger over the wet...
