All water rollers in a quick master carry ink. It is similar to a crestline but built a lot better. If your rollers are stripping are you running metal or poly plates? How old is the rubber in the water system? Not just the form but the other rollers as well. Ever do a calcium rinse...

The older model QM46 only uses the spring as a self adjustment. There must be serial numbers out there that allow you to adjust that. I am guessing it is the very first machines and then they upgraded it with the springs. That press went through a lot of modifications before it finally became...

If you open the door to the press where you insert the handle to turn the press over you look down and back you will see the red adjustment screws. They might be dirty so they may be hard to see. Best way is to use a mini dentist mirror with a flashlight and you will see it. Once you find...

We have had problem on our copier with the back side of carbonless when you run it two sided. The toner rubs right off. This is the back of the last sheet of the set. Three part pink is the problem, 4 part goldenrod and 2 part the back side of canary

Try running the back side first. What I mean is flip the paper over before you run the first side. You may be seeing a printing issue of wire side versus felt side.

Thank you for the response. This is the information I am looking for. I will forward this onto my boss and this might sway his decision.

We are using a 1986 Heidelberg Speedmaster that is not holding together real well. We have some trade printing we do in large quantity that quality is starting to lack on issues that can not be repaired on this machine. We saw a demo on a machine that is two years older that is doing both UV...

Add the word raise to that as well

Yes we add the alcohol to lower the conductance because the alcohol has zero conductance. We had the nice hydrometer but it broke but we got used to seeing the effects on the conductance meter to know when the amount of alcohol was going down. The cheap alcohol tester with the floating balls...

It may have been mentioned but not sure. Are you running alcohol or alcohol sub? We run a Speedmaster and run about the same amount of sheets you do. Our tank holds about 10 gallons. On a short production week we will change out water every two weeks on heavy production weeks especially when...

We are looking at buying a used press and have found this machine to be for sale. I am curious if anyone here is familiar with it. Is it good is it bad. The machine is 6 color with an anilox coater and has ink temp control with a sheet scanner. My biggest worry is with Man Roland bankruptcy...

You will have to have aqueous coating or UV offline coating as well. The coating will remove sand paper feel you get from the spray powder. You also will have to make plates which will cost more. Not sure if DI quality is much better then digital. A SM52 with a coater is what you want. You...

This is a two color common blanket press. No coating. One problem is Husky. There is a lot of calcium used for brightners and it does not print very good solids on any press or ink. In my opinion it was a much better sheet before it became an opaque sheet. It could be part of the problem. I...

New rollers with correct stripes. If not try using a calcium rinse on the rollers if you dont have that use 30 percent white vinegar with 70 percent water. Clean your press with your press wash follow up with the calcium rinse then finish up with either fountain solution or just pure water...

I have had an ongoing issue with this press for over 5 years. The 3/2 vacuum valve gets dirty after about 10000 impressions and I have to take it apart and clean it with a rag then re grease. The worst stock for this is 60 lb grain short. There is black residue around the rubber gaskets...

When you say suspension feeder is it a feeder bought through Heidelberg? When you are having problems are they late sheet, early sheet or strictly envelope feeder problems? Have a make and model number for the feeder?

Rollers can be re cored for around 50-75 bucks each. Because of the amount of Ryobi 3302 out there the price for new ones is pretty affordable. Look at syntex web site. The main problematic rollers are on the crestlines. They usually only get about a year before they start giving you...

3302 is an awesome machine but is not going to produce decent solids and as mentioned before can not back uncoated jobs up due to infeed roller pressure. Another option is a Quick master 46/2. Parts are a lot more expensive for the QM46 but I have managed to go 3 years without a service call...

Would be nice to know what the stock it. Could be yupo. If that were the case it would require a lot more powder and the ink might not dry. Some stocks that are high in alkalinity tend to not dry well and have to have more powder. A surface dryer would help for drying but all of this is...

What is the pms color, What is the manufacture of the ink and what is the tack of the ink
