i can get this 305 to lay a decent solid but nothing impressive. yeah, 67drake, thats mostly what i was thinking. i was looking at it again today and it's definitly late coming off. like paultheprinter said, it may be the impression rams. i'll have a look at them tomorrow and see if anything...

what fountain solutions have you tried? currently using?

we've been having issues with our ink for a while now and just recently switched inks. we decided to re-fingerprint the press in the process, to make a long story short, i found that unit 5s impression cylinder has a very solid imprint from the blanket. dark enough to read, shiney so on and so...

i'm going to do the same thing. we've been trying to come up with a good maintenance alternative to our current plan. this looks very promising.

ive never used it, only subs, but i personally would love to try running it. it's my understanding (and this will be obvious to you guys) that ipa gives us a larger window for ink/water balance and evaporates faster, allowing lower water settings. i think is the only reason shops still use...

finally got to see uv coating first hand today at a trade show. pretty interesting stuff. i like the instant cure.

i was going to make similar thread about our 300's rollers but might as well post in here since it's so similar. i'm more curious as to the method people use to shim though not so much the amount of play.

i'll be there, anyone else going?

i cant say that i have ever gotten slapping issues from that cylinder on my 300. usually we get slapping from the underside of the cardboard guides above the impression cyls. do you have a photo of the slapping?

what exactly are the benefits/differences of UV over conventional? i know nothing, at all, about UV

you're going to get alot of subjective opinions. if a guy runs Heidelberg he's going to recommend it, if a guy runs komori, he's going to tell you to try it, same for Roland and same for kba. . i'll give you my opinion as well. i personally like man roland. my personal choice comes from...

well i had a 10,000 sheet run of on press scoring to do so i got out the ol' non stop delivery board and took a stab at it. it worked out pretty well considering the rails have broken supports but i was able to make it work fairly smoothly. i can see it will take some practice to get good at...

multitasking is also very important in my opinion. i try to make sure my feeder/helper is doing as much is as reasonably possibly at the same time. for example, don't wait for me to set ink key profiles for a plate and then take each plate one by one to each unit. do something productive, like...

our company uses varns "total" in our small format presses. could that be what you are referring to?

yeah some of the sheet stops are missing or broken. just wear and tear in general and the cast peices that hold the rails on are broken from feeder/helpers putting empty skids on and not paying attention, not to mention the switches that allow the pile to move while the board is in aren't...

it's kind of funny to hear that a larger format press did it flawlessly. you would think it would be harder with a sheet that size. i'm hoping to make this one work, even if it's a half-size. we do large runs for medical supply instruction sheets that are 50,000+ sheets each and it would be...

i AM the press operator. we run in two shifts just he is the senior operator in the shop. it's just was just never functional since ive been an operator on the press. i would use it if possible

thats pretty impressive. cci and pecom were an option on our 300 when installed but weren't purchased. id be interested to see what kind of throughput we could achieve with those in place. Rob, part of the problem i think, is turn over for feeder/helpers. for a starting position, the pay is...

not yet, no. haven't ran at a higher speed yet. been doing quite a few short runs that aren't normally ran at high speeds. i should be able to by the end of the week though i think.

my press is equipped with both, but both are currently not working. (various reasons) i'm trying to justify the time and effort needed to get them working again, so my question is, does your press have them and do you use them? the senior operator insists that they aren't worth the hassle to...
