blades are good and i always wash with forms down. i'm using the same wash ive always used, and it worked great up until last week. (needing only ONE wash cycle to wash beautifully)

all rollers are set damn near perfectly in spec. (forms to plate and osc. all riders/bridge rollers the correct pressure) all pneumatic rams to engage and disengage rollers are working properly, my auto wash and water for the roller wash are both full and both spraying properly and all washup...

i hate to bring this one back from the dead, but still haven't found what i want. recently tried Allied ALL-Star single step and various doses and still not what i like. anyone have any other suggestions for me to try?

i find ph also depends on the plate being used. the plates we use, work best at much lower 4.2-4.5 ph

odly enough, we also used a manRoland to coat :p we've done it over solids before and never had an issue like this. i find we don't get as much gloss from it as coating regular offset inks, but never had an issue with milky looking results. may need to adjust the viscosity of the coating. i...

we have a 7000 as well. when varnishing comes up, we either flood aq or we don't do it at all. i don't think toner was ever intended to have varnish on it. however gloss and matte aq works well if you have a press that has a coater.

ive got a tale of my own here. we had just started up a third shift on our 5 colour. the new guy came up from running a qm-46 in house. he ran that thing very well and knew it like the back of his own hand, but was having issues learning our Roland. anyway, to make a long story short, during...

so, if i had to guess, my rollers should have 0% crown since my metering roller is pre-skewed and already promotes water to the ends right? i haven't talked to the roller rep yet and my labels don't say anything about crown. they come from rotadyne)

i'll get 20 this time aropund then and make sure it's made for ipa free. i'm on a man roland 300 so i dont have much control other than nip. i'll see what happens.

for years we've used 25 shore "a" and let them get as high as 32-35 before changing them out, however i came across the july/aug '99 issue of gatf world at work lastnight, that has an article about alcohol free printing where they insist 18-20 shore "a" is what it should start at for better...

the fact that they let him keep his job after that is mind blowing to me.

i believe ours is 600v in from outside and stepped down to 400v at press side. (in canada)

i run a 305. it's a great press, but the feed can be a little tricky sometimes. not as bulletproof as say a speedmaster of equal size. i like running mine. it's very easy to operate and simple to learn.

when the Canadian market has been penetrated,i would love to give this stuff a try.

this can also be caused by excessive side to side movement of ink form rollers

try anchor A-60 odorless. we've used it for many years and love it. http://www.fgsc.ca/en/product_detail.php?p_id=99&pc_id=4&psc_id=7

he's not asking about uv, he's asking about regular aq

i found i had to stir it up pretty well before using it. also make sure the applicator hose isnt touching the bottom of the barrel. i find that 25-35 seconds in the #4 zahn and drier at about the same temp as gloss aq. works best for me. the stuff scuffs pretty easily, especially noticeable on...

yeah that pretty much sums it up whether or not it's frowned upon in Ontario or just flat out illegal to use in printing? obviously, whmis guidlines and the msds of the ipa should tell me, but i am looking for basically what you said.

shouldnt this be in the sheetfed/web section? afterall, we're talking about a press here, not pre-press or workflow supposedly, they are the cats tits
