solvent inks (like Roland or Mimaki) are rated for 3+ years outdoors, are you talking offset inks?

thinking of replacing Horizon 20A with Duplo system 5000, mainly want more speed, I think automation is a wash between the two, down the road would like to add 2 knife trim unit, which would really drive up production, if you have a 5000 please tell me likes / dislikes???

If you have extra room, put a couple 1/4" to 1/2" take off bars at the end of the sheet, it will really help control ink on those very light coverage jobs, even on the big presses we have this problem, because it is very rare these days that we are not painting the sheet so a LH job can be more...

Ive had a Ryobi DI and currently run halfsize presses and an Indigo. I would not like to be in an either or situation, it is real nice to have both offset and digital, some jobs run better on one platform, sometimes it is a timing issue, I have run jobs digital one time, offset one time, then...

Out to lunch... on rare occasions the press will be timed out from paper running out, or a jam, but it is good about detecting a sheet travel problem and stopping. If uncoated stock, yes, you can have times when you get cleaning station lines and you eat 100-200 sheets, but this could just as...

some matte cast vinyl stocks will look kind of like toner with high contrast between printed and non-printed areas...

sheetfed UV, with interdeck curing can make a very opaque white

1 person could run 2 and have time to do a crossword puzzle also, I load mine up and go to lunch, when I comeback it is still clicking aways...

had same problem at very end of processor cycle (4 months-4000 plates, yes we like to push it until we see tinting), after flushed and cleaned processor spots are gone...

Yupo octopus, I just ran some sample sheets (through indigo, NOT SHEETFED), ran very good, and sticks to glass WAY better then clingz, give it a try very good....

Yupo has a product called "octopus", supposedly has more of a mechanical micro suction cup that does not rely on static, I have requested some samples but cannot vouch for it, yet...

I think this points out the flaw with a single medium proofing workflow. We have a brand new epson 7900 with inline spectro and can pump out gracol certified proofs all day long, yet, we have some customers that would rather see a proof on actual stock off our Indigo. And sometimes I cannot...

Don't get a service contract on a 750 Ryobi, I have not seen a tech in 4 years, they are built like a tank...

also check e-stops with multi-meter, sometimes they stay open, I had to un-hook one that was acting up...

did you end up having to move the plate punch to fix the problem?

Don't want to highjack thread, but this is a similar question. We are moving from a house ICC profile for proofing to an industry standard and would like to hear what people like best; SWOP, G7, GRACOL, OTHER? My main criteria is pleasing process work, easy to get to on press, and repeatability...

Agree with QPC, you really need to do a double hit to get good result, we use prisco's coating and first pass seems to kind of seal the sheet, not until the second hit does it really get a good "feel"

Break out your wallet...

What is specific problem, we have a 4300 that in the winter (low humidity) will burn crooked plates....
