As i remember it AB Dicks didn't have the moving parts to truly register. Wasn't the side to side registration only as good as you jogged the sheets before loading the feeder? With that said my answer would be step up to a real press with a side guide if you need anything within a couple of...

For fine art reproduction on an uncoated sheet Id be thinking about Arches if its still made.

have you removed and inspected the safety bar that is in the nip between the plate cylinder and blanket cylinder?

when you say a caliper of 12 or 15 are you talking thousandths of an inch as in .012 or .015? If your talking that measurement scale, I see no reason why either a CD or a CX couldn't run pretty close to max speeds, as long as the press is fairly well maintained. This of course assumes that your...

If we no longer have a job, will that mean that gold diggers will no longer be sniffing around us?

This is the very reason why I always tried to make my front cover "office copies" on the felt side of the sheet, or even would flip the paper, right off of the shipping skid, to be able to run the potentially problematic images on the felt side of the paper.

Eric, you seem to insist on viewing people as stubborn and unwilling to accept your theories, or findings. I personally think, based upon past conversations that your patent had some merit. I don't believe in your idea that, with your system you could flood the form with fountain solution and...

What was happening is as follows.... Consistent with what I mentioned in an earlier post, a 19x25" sheet edge was "bumping" into the headstop covers when the side guide pulled it over. Multiple suggestions to run the job a bit off center would have accomplished an elimination of the dog eared...

In theory if a presses inker could work like a continuous flow dampening system, as opposed to a reciprocating ductor type system, and the roller train only had the storage capacity for a single impression, as opposed to enough capacity for multiple impressions, then we may be on to something...

id begin by either putting on a new blanket and raising the water a bit, or at the very least swinging the blanket around along with new packing to see if the problem area moves.

is the black I see just a screen of black or is it a screen build with other colors too?

if the image you posted is the entire sheet run in a landscape orientation then im not seeing a horizontal streak. I am however seeing a vertical streak. Please clarify.

The problem with these numbers are that they are theoretical. These numbers come from printing under laboratory conditions, with tight controls on every conceivable variable. The control of such variables are OFTEN beyond the willingness of the average printing company. For many of the bean...

We often hear the term "Medicare for all" but in reality what the progressives propose is more like "Medicaid for all." This is a prime example of how finely tuned political talking points have become. Medicare for all sounds a lot better to the to the people that will actually be footing the...

The "thank you" only occurs when their total premiums taken in, exceeds what they've paid out.

Fixed percentage allowable waste does not take into consideration complexity of job. You also make no mention of the OK process. If the pressman is permitted to do his own OKs, and flip the counter on at his discretion, on a very straightforward job with a decent amount of coverage then the...

Eric, ive worked for a few companies that claim to live and die by Demmings philosophies. Problem is that they pick and choose the ones that they want to live by. Most upper managements love the philosophy where every aspect of the manufacturing process is controllable. Problem is that...

One thing you can be sure of is that the waste allowance will USUALLY be borderline ridiculous. All pressroom employees know the standard reasoning behind these low waste allowances, but it seems that the bean counters haven't yet caught on to what happens when you don't allow for enough paper...

Many company owners love it when they are the only game in town. This gives them license to treat employees badly, with the knowing that they will sit by and take it. Then when they encounter someone with enough self esteem to actually challenge them and their poor treatment, that person...

If your doing a saddle stitched booklet with multiple sigs you must also allow for "creep"
