Just a quick question for the forum here...how much are the Polar Pile Turner's going for used (US$)? Specifically the Polar PW4 ABV? 3-4 years old. Since we're running a lot of 10-12pt nowadays we're looking to add one of these to our shop. We already have a few ez turners and those work pretty...

We've been having this problem a lot more lately, and all the jobs were aqueous coated. However what we've found is they've all been printed 4cp/4cp on the same stock- 70# anthem gloss. It seems that the low voc 4cp inks we use set up and dry extremely quick, maybe too quick. It takes about 3...

I've used them on one of our sm102 640 perfectors, with a max speed of only 13iph they do help make up some time. The press is fairly new with a feeder plus from the XL on it. Setting the blankets to be hit quick wash every 10,000 sheets, and timing the feeder and delivery so they are dropping...

Our shop uses this same set up in our two sm102 6color perfectors as well. One machine is new with vario; the other is an older cpc1.04 machine with alcolor only. We easily get 60-65 million out of inkers and 45-50 million out of the dampers. We tested the Bottcher “chameleon” and Westland...

We have been perfing a lot with our sm102 640 perfectors lately, CP2000 machines with the Heidelberg perfect jackets on the last 4 impression cylinders and coating units. We set the perf rule carrier sheet up on the 1st unit impression cylinder(chrome, no jacket); change the blanket to an old...

The pdf temperature guidelines supplied by Senefelder are right on the money. When we purchased our last press we worked out a deal with the press manufacture to retrofit an older press with temperature controlled oscillators. The results were immediately positive with a temperature drop from...

R&D and Blindpig thank you for your feedback. Mike

The owners of my company have expressed a curiosity in these presses. Anyone care to comment on Komori Service? Parts availability etc etc. Mike

One more thing, we've used Flint and Superior in the past, both make excellent inks as well. Mike

We use Braden & Sutphin inks and are currently set up with a B&S in-plant ink operation. To print on the Utopia and stocks similar we use their Eco Pride/EPTS Low Voc High Solid series of inks. The ink tech will then add grapho dryer at a rate of 1 ounce per pound or 1%. The max would be 2...

R&D is correct they do take special inks to aid in drying. I saw this question and felt it necessary to register and log in just to back up this statement. Our now previous paper vendor that sold us this stock said it performs just like "any old matte" well it definitely does not. We were unable...
