I don't even think that's out in the states yet. Only Europe has those right know. I could be wrong though, that's what our rep told us. We might check it out once they get one in the demo room. Mike

This is great info, we were looking for this as well! Looking at this formula theoretically you could change the values a little bit and use it to find distortion percentage when perfing on press. We do some fairly intricate perfs and usually it takes a few tries to get the perf rules to line...

We use the Heidelberg steel transfer jackets on one of our 640 perfectors and our 8 color. They work well as long as you clean them everyday. You can under pack them a one or two thousands and that will help them stay dent free. Once they get dented they start to mark and eventually you'll have...

cpc as in cpc 24 image control? or axis control? Press condition, image control calibration, the CIP data from prepress and ink key/dampening settings can make the follow ups take longer than they should. We see a change within 100 sheets max. Over modulation or "color boost" should only be...

I agree 100% with everything Weaver said. Long perfectors are a pressman's dream- virgin stock all the time, one pass and done. We have two 6 color perfectors with coaters and run A LOT of 4/2 + coat work on them. They have some limitations with perfecting and marking due to the deep dish guide...

We have 2 sm102 6 color perfectors. One is a 98 with the older style perfector, one is a 06 with the newer "eccentric" perfector. Both are semi auto which I prefer. You can trouble shoot them easily over the phone if needed and we've always been able to get the press back into straight mode if...

Our cp2000 machine is set up for remote access. It does help and we've used it quite a bit over the years. The biggest help came when a pressman missed a step taking the press out of perfecting causing a synchronization error. Heidelberg logged on and with the help of the pressman manually put...

Wow, those are A LOT cheaper than the ones for SM102's..

There has to be a way, we image plates that are 324 x 493mm for our smaller presses. We have one drawer set up for this size and the other two set up for 40 inch plates. Sorry I'm not that familiar with the meta dimension software so i don't wont to give you bad info. Our was set up this way...

WTB Heidelberg plate bender for sm102 with autoplate. Just PM through here, thanks Mike

I've seen it demonstrated and it worked well. When used with the Intellstart software your pretty much doing a running m/r. I've never used it in production. We have Image Control in our shop. Mike

We used Advanced Cylinder Repair in the past to fix low areas in the cylinder and corrosion. They did a great job and worked over the weekend so we did not incur downtime during the week. ACRwest Provides On Site Printing Press Cylinder Repair

We had this problem, our alcohal sub was reacting with the ink causing it to break down. The end results was the ink "picture framing" around the outline of the stock on the impression cylinder causing a mess. We reduced the amount of alcohol sub and our ink manufacture added a heavy body...

Well you could probably get by without but you should have one. We do still check our plates but we just don't see the variation like we used too. In fact we really haven't seen any variation. We use a X-Rite iCplate2 to check our plates. I've read the Techkon units are good as well. A Plate...

You will not have any problems regarding the plate calibration; that will easily be handled by the Heidelberg technician. Even if your are not running the plate Heidelberg offers they will still calibrate and set up the machine properly. Same thing if you change plates later, Heidelberg will...

In my experience J. Beniston and tambo are both correct. Too much pressure from plate to blanket can cause the plate to become sensitive therefore creating ink build up where the sheet is not printing on the blanket. I've seen this happen when a pressman over packs the blanket by accident and...

We get 400-600 million out of our SM102's before we trade them on. We traded in our older 102 4 color with 500 million on it and the press still printed very well. We had a little movement from the ranger drum and it needed new delivery chains otherwise it was a solid running/ consistent press...

As stated before on CP2000 machines the circle T means there has been an error detection during dynamic test. Dynamic test is the control system that detects faults on electronic boards. One of your electronic boards has a problem. It could be one of the drive boards or it could be a problem...

Whatever works each press is different. the main thing is to have everyone do it the SAME every time. Some of our older Heidelberg's needed one full turn due to the gear lash on the drive side and worn out adjustment collars. Our new press is only 1/2 turn then we lock them down. Make sure you...

I keep hearing stories like this and this is what keeps me from being sold on Komori. Yes the automation is impressive but the installation start up, service, and running window make a big difference in the day to day. Mike
