    Presstek dimention 800

    Hi would second what Dcurry said. Take the metal filter box out, not apart, and drop it from about 14 inches off the ground flat. Causes the dust to settle/compact and you may get some more life out of it. Not a permanent fix at all and not the best solution but if a new filter isn't an...

    Screen 4300 Plates burning crooked

    Open up the back of the unit and at the top where your punch is, take some compressed air and blow out. You could be getting remnants of your plate punches caught that would cause the plate not to fully seat properly.
