Do you know what the stock is? What you might be seeing on your blankets are calcium instead of powder. Seems to me that paper is carrying a lot more calcium then it used to

The 50 percent water is the green part

After some doing we finally got the feeder to work on the QM46. This one was orginally for a AB Dick. we had to grind off the clamp assembly and slightly modify the side guides and the feeder tail roller assembly so that that the pile bar would not hit the feeder. Also had to put it on a...

It has odor but works great is Varn V120. I mix 50/50 with water. I start with a color wash step 1. Another good product is Varn take it off and also Febo. The varv V120 is nice because the water fights the calcium build up that most sheets and envelopes have. We have tried greener low voc...

When I was running a 5500 I noticed that when you had a CSR sign off the color after running the color would change. Normally on darker blues that were heavy on ink. I noticed if I changed the color on the fly it would hold through out the run. You also need to make sure the machine does not...

I have never had to desensitize my rollers and have been running sub now for over three years. Your issue may be that the cleaning effects of the alcohol are no longer there and may require a preliminary desensitize. I would use printers pumice and a soft lint free damp rag. Go over the...

Probably about 3 years ago. We had a suspended ceiling which might have been part of the problem. Since then we have moved to a warehouse where the ceilings are 20 ft high. The nicoat in my opinion is a much better coating however because of the price we no longer use it

Van Son makes a dryer stimulator to add to the water. You might want to give that a shot. Could not hurt

We had a similar problem years ago when I ran a 52 4 color shino. We tried using pink fountain with al sub but scumming would not go away. We used total fountain however this fountain seemed strong and tended to wear out the plates after about 5000 impressions. We also had issues using a...

I like Nicoat the best. Their price is higher but they are awesome with customer service. They have a coating for everything and the work and turn coating and satin that we were using had the least amount of odor. I would start with them and when you get comfortable with coating then start...

If you have a leak the compressor will stay on until the circuit breaker blows. There should be a pressure guage on the compressor. It needs to get to 10 milli bar for it to shut off. If the pressure switch goes above 14 and does not shut off you should call a technician in. If the pressure...

We have been using the duplo now for about 6 months and it is a great machine. As long as your format is small enough for the machine. Once the programs are made and you follow the template it works great. Running Business cards on offset with a lot of coverage works well because it is only...

We have been using Flo for years. At a time it was an awesome #3 coated sheet. Even folding 100 lb text cross grain left little cracking and hickey problems on press were minimal. Not anymore. I do not know what changed but it is acting more like some of the plastic feeling asian sheets we...

There are a lot of unemployed people out there that could be more qualified then your press operator. We had the same issue at the shop I managed and my goal was to remove deglazer from our shop. It took two years and I had to prove a lot of things like paste deglazers work, A second wipe with...

Ask your ink vendor for an ink that stays open. Our CMYKs stay open and we only clean ink wells once a week on our presses. I know superior and kohl Madden have stay open inks in all the mixing colors and we have had it specified for our reflex blue. One problem I can think of adding water...

Also check the cylinders are in the correct position. Turn the flywheel till the lead edge of the plate cylinder just comes in line with the blanket cylinder. The two should line up exactly. We used to stick a screw driver between the bars near the cylinders and jump the cylinders in order to...

Yeah I am sure he watched this Utube video and opened up on his class mates. The world needs to ban violent games and then kids wont shoot others. This kid had major issues. Here is another idea. Ban James Bond movies. How many times do you see Bond going around shooting a bunch of people...

Cracked me up. Sent it to my boss to see if we could play it at our work

Deglazer or type wash was one of the chemicals I worked hard to have removed from our press room. We used to use at least 5 gallons a week with only two presses and wearing disposable gloves were of little help due to it would eat through them in a matter of seconds. Press operators would wipe...
