Or running more water on the yellow unit. Or reduce the tack of the yellow. And some people recommend weakening the yellow so you can run a bit heavier ink film.

One more thing, if register is taking as long as you say, your company should be willing to invest more than 24 hours into finding the solution because they could save hundreds of hours of production time over a single year. Maybe this link is better for Ternes: NPES.com.cn|NELA-TERNES...

And everything that they say at the seminar is subject to change because the makeup of Congress is going to change.

I have some questions. My former plant ran a handful of staccato or stochastic trials. For whatever reason, we didn't embrace this technology. I know that staccato sees a smaller color shift when densities are run heavy, but what is the result when the densities are light? What are the results...

Keep in mind that we made folding cartons, so we had a bit more latitude as to what was considered salable or acceptable color. For the most part we ran the same basic items and we would record the ink profiles for later use. We did not have a working plate scanner. We did not get our profiles...

Depends on the size of the jobs, the number of color changes made between jobs, etc., etc. Supposedly in a speed demo, KBA demonstrators were able to make-ready and run 17 different jobs requiring 500 salable sheets each in an hour. Each job was printed 4 over 4 and each job required all 8...

My guess is that the guy didn't check the rollers very often. It's also possible that he didn't know how to recognize the roller problems that the stripes were indicating. As for the roller that had to be maxed out, it could have been a bad roller cup or socket, too. We had a couple of...

$300 an hour is probably close enough. The last time I heard the numbers bandied about in our pressroom was about 10 years ago and $200 was the number quoted. Figure for inflation and a larger press and $300 is probably in the ballpark.

A grain of salt then A grain of salt then I don't even know if what you have written is true. I do understand that you have a vested interest in making Heidelberg look bad. That might be the wrong way to go though because that will turn off a lot of people. What's the old saying about speaking...

I would guess that maybe someone should invite a representative of Heidelberg to read and to respond to the claims that you have made.

What was the point of waiting for the Heidelberg tech? Where was the paper jammed? We had it stuck once between blanket cylinder and impression cylinder in the coater. So we pulled, ripped and tore out as much as the paper as we could. We pulled off the coating blanket. I think we actually...

Let me ask a question. Does the addition of talc reduce ink misting? Or would it have been better for printing quality to ask for a reduction in extenders so we could have run a thinner ink film? I hate to say it, but a think a lot of bottom-line guys can't get past the cheaper initial cost of...

Well, as someone who was applying for a job, I wasn't in a position where I could suggest that maybe they should run their work differently. Right now I'm hoping to get a job on the feeder end of the press and then I could learn UV as a course of natural progression of the job.

It would be interesting to poll the owners of these support systems and see whether their success level is as poor as yours has been to date. I know that this has been a big selling point for new hardware in this industry. If it doesn't work as advertised, then I see why everyone is buying old...

I'm curious. Is your press outfitted with the newer type system where the remote person can actually get into the machine's console to check for error codes? That's been one of the big selling points for newer presses beyond the faster makereadies and higher running speeds is that KBA, Roland...

Because Because Because it is going to force employers of certain sizes to either offer insurance or face fines of $2000 for each employee. The other part of it is that nobody likes change. It's easier to deal with the devil that you know than the ones that you do not.

I think it's the law in the US that the manufacturers or suppliers have to provide the MSDS sheets. And if I remember my safety training, you as an employer have to make MSDS sheets available to your employees. It's also required in many places that the fire department and emergency squad have...

Yes, it should be measured and it should be measured accurately. It's like anything else. If the tool you are using to measure something isn't properly calibrated and accurate, the numbers that you get for that tool are meaningless. My last employer expected us to chart the pH and conductivity...
