Just an update. As of today we have had several techs in to try an take care of the solid cyan problem and the problem at the trailiing edge of the sheet 12x18 12 pt c2s, leaving a space horizontally about 1.4" wide with no print across the sheet. They still have not been able to clear up the...

In this economy with our shop size significantly downsized, we have trained our prepress and press people to run our CTP. That is, our press people can take a file already prepared by graphics, then drag it to the proper place on our RIP and load a plate. It's nice when our graphics dept. is...

Thought I'd take a minute and update you on our 901 we purchased back in January. Problem #1 - The first few months it operated great. Solid solid's, beautiful pictures. Then we started to get blooching in mainly our blue colors. Whenever we would run a solid blue it would be bloochy in the...

Kristian, Occasionally we will have a call for spot UV on a job. Problem is we only have a flood type coater. To rectify this we run a varnish thru the 4th unit on our DI Plus. Does a great job. Simply burn the plate using a solid were the spot needs to be, clean the unit VERY WELL, add...

We to run VDP thru our Fiery almost everyday to our 901. No problems at all.

Sorry to hear that Don. But our experience was the same. Plan on stocking a lot of drums. My suggestion, Send It Back!! We did. Tell them either make it work or they can have it back. Good Luck.

Craig,. We have ran an Epson 7900 for about a year. We initially bought one 350 ml cartridge for each color. As expensive as they are to replace we thought that would be a good way to start. After running for a year now, we have found that if we keep 1 of each color, 350ml, it gives us...

Just a follow up. After another visit from our tech we were told that there is a cyan problem with all the 901 series and Ricoh is trying to fix it. Also, when we purchased the machine I was told that we would have 2 fuser units so when we ran anything other than 12x18 we could change out the...

As for the machine, It has been great. Solids are solid. Colors are spot on. This is the first service issue we have had since purchase. Not bad. The problem. The machine is so new, that the techs. are still learning it. They know the 900 inside and out but when it comes to the 901, not...

Well we purchased a Ricoh 901s to add to our offset operation about 5 months ago. Up till now it has operated fantastic. Before we made the purchase one of my biggest concerns was that we had competent, capable service techs for the machine. I was assured that we did. Our first service call...

I'm searching for a Screen 4000, 4100 or 4300 with manual load preferable with RIP. If anyone has a lead on one please send me a message and I'll get in touch with you. Thanks.

Just out of curiosity, are the diodes in a Screen 4100 easy to change out by the user? What tools are needed? Thanks

After several months of searching we are thinking about purchasing a Screen PT-R4100 unit. Anyone have any comments or experience operating this unit? We are going to use a Harlequin 8.0 RIP. Like the idea of being able to use ChemFree plates. Any comments will be greatly appreciated!

Alois's method has always worked for us. We use it on our Komori and never have problems.

I guess I'd better add to my last post that we ended up buying a C901 from Ikon and have had it for about 4 months know and LOVE IT!! What a great machine. This is from a guy who never cared much for Ricoh machines. We looked very hard at a 900 but never cared for the fuser oil.

I've spoken with several former owners of the 900 that have turned back their units. When asked how did they manage to get out of their lease, they all have told me that after documentation of all down time and service calls, and loss of revenue, they presented it to their Ikon reps. along...

We also run a Tec coater. In my humble opinion it is the best machine out there. We've ran several different UV brands. All run great thru this unit. As far as grain direction, we have ran all different thicknesses with the grain in different directions and never had a problem. Cant imagine...

Thanks for your replies. Just a couple more questions. What do you mean by Mid-range system? What are its pros and cons? Did either of you ever have problems with laser performance as far as consistency? I have read other forums that talked a little about consistency problems. Thanks again.

Thanks for the suggestion Al. No trickery intended.

We are looking at several ctp systems. Just wondering if anyone had any experience or information on the Cobalt 4 system? We run 4 up mainly 2 color, occassionally 4, will this system work. Is it reliable? Thanks
