Tri_crease Tri_crease Talk to tri-creaser, the problem with thin sheets is you have to really crank pressure down to keep from twisting, but that much pressure will cause light stock to split so they have blue bands to replace the normal black ones that have a bigger OD so you can retain grip...

McCoy sucks McCoy sucks OK, I will say it, McCoy sucks!, every time we run it we get blade marks or surface problems, I hate that people pay more for a "premium" sheet and it looks like crap, the street fighter sheets will out print it all day long...

Rip Rip It is a HQ RIP, but indigo says all but the 5 defaults are locked out, will try photoshop route, Indigo does have a grayed out box for pre-screened, maybe I can output outlined TIFF from TrueFlow?

Trying to make some film positives for screen printing on an Indigo, problem is Hq RIP only has 5 presents for LPI 144 being smallest, which is still way to small of a dot for screen printing, does anyone know a way of pre-screening out of photoshop or ID a course line screen, art will generally...

Does it have a RIP with it, no interest in engine if head is gone then it would cost more to fix then street price for such an old printer

also, also, We ran this ink for a long time, same problems discussed above, ALSO real bad lot inconsistency, almost every lot was radically different...don't pay more for a crappy product, Toyo has traded on its name for a long time, but I have seen a lot of poor products with Toyo on it...

Yuck... Yuck... I think worse than the time involved, which as an owner, cannot be overstated, I would not feel great about multiple blanket changes a day, you would be chasing slop out of them and opens up liability of a blanket not being put on right...I HATE CHANGING BLANKETS>>> pack them...

We had same problem with 3500, make sure you are up to date with all RIP patches and i-fixes from indigo

500 biz cards for $10, got a mailer from them today with a sample card (looked indigo with UV coating), they are haunting me this week..

are you cutting down folio or running digital sheets, I have had mixed results cutting down and running on Indigo?

TV Ad... TV Ad... Last night on Fox they ran a Vista print commercial, I thought everyone was getting rich with adwords these days, but maybe traditional ad methods are making a comeback? and it is kind of weird to see a national commercial for $10 business cards, fine print says free 21 day...

I suspect cylinder can be rolled if only 3mm, but if you are not 100% certain that it is off and you are transferring paper OK then just change imaging on that tower...

doable, but... doable, but... watch your densities, that stuff does not dry for crap, and if you can get real thick stuff like 40#, glama comes in a 19, 29# both can be tricky...

Looking to do process on a dark substrate, I suspect I will have to do 1 hit of opaque and then dry trap 4CP, anyone have success? (UV not an option), just wondering if single hit will be enough and registration/fit having to do 2 passes???

I suspect that you could do with a pad printer, ask around the promo or ad specialty community, if qty kind of small and just line-work someone should be able to do it...

Maps Maps Wanted to see if anyone else had found an app for variable maps using a database of addresses? Prefer cheap plugin or pay as you go service, will output to indigo 1-1000 range?

Manufactures are keen on pointing to noise or fluctuations as the cause of the problem, but in my experience it is never the cause of the problem. If you put a sensitive enough scope on any line you will see huge dips and spikes and it is easy to say that is the problem, but I suspect it is...

I used air also, because they are very hard to get to sensor, maybe a small q-tip (cotton on a stick) will reach it, I have also had to change to another job run a few sheets then go back to the problem job, for me it cleared the problem, I think ink coverage or stock was missing the sensor but...

cheap coating cheap coating I have had similar problem, all settings are the same as always everything seems to be operating properly, someone told me that to hold price some major manufactures are changing formula to cut down on raw materials, I tend to agree because I tried another brand and...

I suspect you can get good results from well maintained 70's vintage with new rubber and CTP plates, maybe even make money if you have the right mix of work and it is paid off, however, if you are like most of us you need auto plate changers, presets, ink value setting, and scanning density to...
