    Help! AB Dick 9850 Envelope printing

    Turn off your air and try running with the pile as low as it will go. Also move the envelope in the feeder to the left or right to see if feeding improves. If it does I believe there is a side to side adjustment on the plate clamp. If not you can trim one side of the plate so it punches off...

    Anyway to speed up ink drying?

    We just did a job on curious metallics. I am guessing the dry time is better for this job then it is for foil but I can tell you this. We printed this job using standard toyo ink about a year ago and it never did dry completely. I have had luck with one and two color but when printing ink...

    Humidity and fit problems

    If you are running a 5 color and you depowder on unit 1 try using the damps on unit one to plate. This will cause the stretch on the dead unit. You can also try packing the black plate with either 2 or 3 thousands packing. That will help the black unit print shorter

    CIP3/CIP4 ink key generation from supplied 1-bit tiffs

    The pre inking software will set the ink keys pretty close to where they need to be. The operator will need to make some adjustments to get the densities to where they should be. Optimization programs are available to make changes to the press curves that will make this a more accurate. Even...

    Black Touche' Cover on QM wont feed

    I have to always service the 3/2 valve on my quick master. It is usually noticeable when I run 60 lb uncoated. I figure I have to clean it every 20 K impressions. I also found that Crisco is better then the high priced stuff that Heidelberg sells. Thanks for posting the timing numbers I am...

    How much of a credit do you give?

    If it is a low cost job as you say it is give it to the customer for free and apologize. If you give it to them for nothing they will stay with you knowing you regard them in the highest esteem. If you try and penny pinch you could lose them. Guess it depends a lot on how big a customer this is

    Black Touche' Cover on QM wont feed

    Take the sensor and the sensor plate off and clean. Pretty sure you have tried this. Also move infeed wheels to different positions.

    Humming noise coming from delivery SM52

    There are three pump motors in the delivery actually behind the delivery. My guess is the slow down pump. See if you can change the sound by adjusting the slow down slides, the blow down slides or the de curler slide. Those blowers cost about two grand a piece and they cant be fixed at least...

    Ink order for 4 colour process...

    When running process we are stuck with many jobs that require little ink. In my case it is usually Cyan. What D ink man is saying will work better in these instances due to ink not being replaced in the roller train. If the ink is not going on the sheet you will have all kinds of problems...

    This has been ongoing for the last year but has gotten much worse in the last month. Usually I notice it when I try to scew the unit two plate and I hear a hiss and I lose all my air pressure (guage drops to zero) I have to close the piston that allows me to scew the plate and wait for the...

    QM 46-2 PU 2 autoplate rollers scratching plate

    Try inserting the PU2 plate without the inserter unit in the press. You will have to advance the machine by hand till you get to the tail of the plate. Insert an allen wrench in the tail clamp hole and insert the tail of the plate into the clamp. This is cleaner if the unit is not inked up...

    HP GRACol Matching and 7 Color Printing

    SM52 extreame dot gain on black unit

    Prepress got me the test sheets and I printed them today. They have screen values from 5 percent to 95 percent for both conventional and specta. I only did the 40 percent as you mentioned. I forgot my densitometer and could not find the plate reader so the following links are only plate...

    SM52 extreame dot gain on black unit

    I am trying to get a test sheet from prepress. We have to be out of the building we are in by April 15. I was hoping to get this figured out before then but sounds like we need to get production done so my press can be torn apart and moved. I hate to put this on the back burner but it could...
