Thanks for the PDFs Alois, I read them and the numbers seem correct to me. In the interest of the way this thread has been going I decided to check things out a little more closely. I found the water in the Royce system to be a couple degrees warmer than the digital readout, also that the pan...

Thanks for your reply. I had the same thought here about a year ago, I switched to high velocity impellers and I am maintaining a pan temp. of 60F.

komori picture framing komori picture framing Cincyinkslinger, You say you have been around hundreds of Komori's? I have been running them for 20 years. I would always swear by them until now. I have only run 4 in this time how many have you actually run. I do not mean any disrespect sir...

komori picture framing komori picture framing Alios, Thank you very much for your reply, as a mater of fact when I took the photo the other day I was doing exactly that. We will see what happens. I will keep you posted. John

Komori picture framing Inkinveins, Of coarse picture framing is a natural part of offset printing. Try this scenario though, you are running your press at 13 to 15 thousand sheets per hour and you have to stop every 40 or 45 min to clean the blankets. It is completely unproductive to say the...

Komori Picture Framing Komori Picture Framing Servicetech, I am a little confused here also. My system is as such. The water pan roller (Z) drives the metering roller (W) from the drive side of the press. The oscillating chrome roller (Y) drives the form roller(V) on the operators side. The...

pun_lavor, As I stated earlier it is possibly your fountain solution. I assume you are using the proper ink. I also asume the substrate is TRANSLEWRAP. (not sure of the spelling). I run this stuff a lot and when I changed my fountain solution drying times were in an acceptable range as in the...

RGPW1700, These are both problematic colors in my experience. The first thing you need to do is to dry a sheet to establish proper density. Use a hair drier, microwave ,run it through the shrink wrapper, whatever (I use a thermo stripper). Both these colors shift dramatically when drying. I...

Printing on vinyl is tricky business to say the least. I run 15pt. vinyl quite often and here are two of the tricks I have found to make the stuff dry for the cutter the next morning. 1. Allied Starfont fountain solution, it is made for vinyl . 2. Rewind your loads 20 min after they come out of...

I always run my metallic ink first down, you will see that the more times you split the ink film the smoother the lay. Since metallic inks being opaque will never truly trap. If one has a trap issue, like a large solid metallic with reversed out type, I run a skip plate on the second unit to...

Neversatisfied, This may sound strange, but maybe you have done it yourself. I have had this same "chattering" problem on my former 6 color. I would adjust the water roller settings to very low on the set speed like 12 and the ratio speed to 175. Then adjust the press speed slow and fast and I...

Reyes 1377 I hear you loud and clear. I admire your perseverance and determination to have put up with this problem so long. I only have half your problems being on a half size press. The big problem with this blog is, and understandably is that people with komoris that work properly cannot...

Is this a half size sheet fed press, and are you running short grain stock?

Neversatified, Firstly let me say that my first three Komories had this problem also. Just certain screens and certain colors. Komori always told me it was an ink problem (talk to the manufacturer) well about 4 years ago Komori had the roller company's change the covering on some of the ink...

neversatisfied, I was attempting to slow the roller down so I made the form smaller. My specs call for 80mm. (3.15 in.) I had one made to 79mm. and one at 78. Mechanically my mind tells me this has to make a difference, but in reality if you start monitoring your roller setting as often as I...

chief chief just curios what did you do? and what happened? I haven't run one of those in almost 40 years.

George John, Alois Senen Felder, Sirs; Before you beat me up too bad, let me explain myself a little bit here. I have been at war with this picture framing problem for 18 months. I began to believe that this was a chemistry problem, in agreement with Kormori, Fuji, and Prisco. I did all that...

Raymond Ramires, I am running Fuji LHPJ

geozinger, Thanks for your reply. I have had the same results here, as long as I stop and clean the blankets every 10,000 shts. It is a problem I can live with. By undercutting the blanket packing I run about 30,000 and clean the blanket just for GP mostly. I have improved the picture framing...

George John, It is not a calcium carbonate problem. I have religiously cleaned the rollers with sulphamic acid phosphoric acid , hydrochloric acid, following up with a good shot of boiling vinager and water rinse. I put in a new set of ink rollers one day and had a job the next on CHROMECOTE...
