is that the non image area tinting a bit on the top of the right sided image???

If this dry back issue happens on all jobs then you might think about compensating for this in pre press. Not sure your aware of this but there's a process called press fingerprinting, that synchronizes your plate output to the way the press prints. Do yourself a favor and try to avoid just...

Are your presses equipped with an auto plate feature? If so try over riding the auto plate, and mount the plates manually to see if it makes a difference. If your issue resolves itself with manual plate mounting then it sounds like your auto plate needs a bit of maintenance.

There is a limit to just how thick of a film can be layed down. Doesn't matter if its an Aqueos coating, a UV coating , or a press unit applied varnish. When you factor in SAFE film thickness, and when I say SAFE I refer to its ability seal, cover, and dry without blocking or setoff then you...

Let me try to make a case for why small deviations in circumferential density can have unacceptable results. So here's the scenario... An identical image is printed in 4color process 2 up from front to back on a sheet. The magenta unit has front to back variation in density of the "ACCEPTABLE"...

sounds like a lot of extra work to achieve minimum effect.

what commonly happens when this issue occurs is this.... Most all press manufacturers engineer their equipment for the world market. This would mean that standard publications world wide are set up to run certain size sheets. These sheets are sized to the metric system, and sized to these...

whatever press you choose I would strongly suggest that you work out a way to run long grain stock whenever possible. Availability of long grain stock in this format can be a little problematic. You might have to purchase your stock in a extra large format and quarter it in order to be able to...

Auto ink setting will only be as accurate as the time and testing your willing to put into the fine tuning of the process, and even under the best conditions I think that operator intervention, or closed loop intervention will be required UNLESS... your quality standards are "hang um, and bang...

I've found that the accuracy of CIP data is directly related to a companies willingness to tune the ENTIRE process. If a company is unwilling to do adequate testing and repeated adjustments to the entire process, then what you can be left with is presets that are no better than a good pressman...

You might want to try reaching out to Pantone in New Jersey. Some of their offset presses have been modified with split fountains in order to efficiently print the PMS books. Don't know if they will be forthcoming with information, but it couldn't hurt to reach out and try.

are you offering a relocation package?

8 inches of off cut seems like it would have very limited use. If its a card stock weight and caliper it may be worth something, to someone who does biznez cards or hang tags. perhaps you can let your customer hitch an occasional free ride, by slapping some inter office print matter on the off...

not really a lithrone guy but I can say this.... Most feeders will have a drive shaft that is connected to the feeder head via a universal joint. This U joint will usually be connected by a slotted flange. If this is the case I would suggest using some white out or bright colored sharpie...

try raising up the gripper corners of the feeder pile a bit with wedges. That should solve your dogeared corners issue and may even help you with the timing issue IF the low corners are holding the sheet back a bit. If it doesn't resolve the timing issue then id say you have to re time your...

does disengaging the roller train stop ALL rollers from turning to include water system? If not I would suggest for a run that long, that you remove your rubber water rollers. Also worthy of mention would be that roller lube should probably be washed up once a week and replenished with fresh...

The perfector will cost you more coin, all other things being equal. The perfector will have many more moving parts. The perfector will require a little more maintenance. The perfecter will require an additional pump to operate when in perfect mode. You will encounter limitations as to what...

I was one of them

it all boils down to the old school press crews computer literacy. Ive seen many old school pressmen struggle with the learning curve, when they have in the past shown a resistance to new technologies. If you've got a guy that has just dug in his heels and refused to get one of them new...

ink form rollers set too tight to the vibrator rollers will swell on the ends like your pic shows. The side to side action of the ink vibrator against the ends of the form rollers will over time begin to separate the rubber from the metal core.
