good to know. they are a major supplier of ours. i'll look into it

have a Canadian supplier?

we use hostmann INKredible Rapida series

tried this set last-night on a couple of jobs (against my boss' wishes) just to see what would happen. aside from the dot gains being different, i didn't find it to be all that much better in comparison to what we currently use. they seemed to have alot more body, (maybe more solids/pigment)...

use the thinnest ink film possible that still gives you pleasing colour. also, run fountain solutions as low as possible, as any excess will not absorb into the substrate. if you have assisted drying, use it to get any excess moisture to evap, though dont go too hot. and if you have a coater...

it's likely different on an sm74. that's just how ours works on our roland. but that's how those hickey removers work in general, just pushing them into the plate.

we have similar on our 300. there should be a slot somewhere that they slide into and a spring loaded peice that they fit into. they slide back and forth on a track and you just aim it up to where the hicky is and push it into the plate for a couple of revolutions. keep them very clean as they...

as someone who worked my way up to pressman from feeder op, all i can say to you is it takes time and getting better at it takes good ol experience. you need to put the hours in and the longer you work at it the more you learn as you go. you also need a good person training you. i never had...

of all else fails, and if you are partial to the hostmann inks, try the INKredible Rapida series cmyk inks. stays duct fresh (we leave ours in the fountains for the whole week, with only minor drying by friday, nothing a little anti-skin spray wont fix) and they set pretty fast and within 15mins...

finally had a chance to look at the manual that was posted. turns out it's not the same as the one we have. looks like this one is for speedmasters and designed a little differently. i will read through and see if any of the settings pertain to our unit.

i cant thank you enough! i'll check everything at work tomorrow. there is a regulator before the fresh water supply but not sure what it is set at. time to tinker!

i'm curious if anyone is having good luck with it. how about the all-star ultra?

we've got an alpha.d that was equipped in '99/'00 on a manroland 305+L for the longest time we've been off of dosers, and pre-mixing fount in a bucket and dumping it into the tank. cant seem to get the dosing working properly. at some point a doser crapped out and after replacing it, it never...

we have the same luck with hostmann steinberg INKredible rapida inks. but they don't dry very well on uncoated

we have two of them so i can check today while i am at work.

sounds like some good info, but sounds like it's a case of lazy operators. if that happened on a regular basis at our plant, i would be fired.

thanks for the graphics. by the looks of it, the CD is obviously better.

ok i thought that the CD stood for carton device (ie: more sheet guiding devices) thanks for clearing that up. do they process thin stocks as well as they do with the heavier stuff? for example, can you run 18pt c2s and then switch to 50lb uncoated right after and have it run just as well...

can someone please explain the difference between a speedmaster SM102 and a speedmaster CD102? having a debate with a co-worker about this. neither of us know.

if it's chilled, turn the chiller off and circulate a hot water and vinegar mixture for a bit then drain. rinse out with plain water after. we do this every Monday morning on start-up. it kills about an hour of production but keeps things in check. just make sure it's flushed well after the...
