    Customers complaining of chemical smell on printed pieces.

    Here is my point of view on this one. Really!!! Give the inks and chemical guys a break, we trial inks and chems. about every 2 years just to make sure we are running the best suited ink and chem. for our business. The big move to low VOC that has been shoved down our throats has created enough...

    Polyester plates

    Even if you don't believe me about not making them any more, do yourself a favour and compare pricing, metal vs. poly? The only reason I can think of that some one would want to use poly over metal is that they don't have a image setter/processor for metal because metal is cheaper and waaaaaay...

    Polyester plates

    Why are you using Poly plates to begin with? Do you realize that they are not going to make them in the near future? That they are more expensive than metal?

    Komori 10 color

    If you turn off the delta dampening the picture framing and plate ware will disappear. If that doesn't do it then you must not have the same plate to blanket pressure as the Heidi.

    Komori picture framing

    Ran Komori for 15 years and didn't see picture framing until they introduced Delta dampening effect. The last Komori I ran had Delta and if I ran with delta it picture framed on all units. If I ran without delta, even long runs it would run clean. Now I run Heidelberg for the last 9 years and...

    Colour variation Indigo???

    How is the density kept stable on these machines? Ours seems to move around a lot? I can always see a difference in the proofs from day to day. Our old Indigo seemed to be way more stable. Thanks T

    Importance of PH and filtered water

    Just ask your supplier! Or, price out metal to see if its cheaper, then it wont matter to you whether or not they will be making these plates in the future. Unless you don't have the resources to image metal plates. If you do why would you want to run poly over metal?

    Importance of PH and filtered water

    Forget about poly plates and go back to metal! What your supplier is not telling you or doesn't realize is that poly plates will no longer be available in the very near future. Do a price comparison and you will find that poly plates are NO LONGER CHEAPER than running metal!!! I didn't believe...

    XMF question?

    Our G7 curves are entered into characterization curve data, but they don't seem to be getting on the plates???? I'm not a prepress guy so I'm a little confused as pre press tells me that the curves are automatically applied. We just switched over from Rampage to XMF and ever since then we don't...

    Alcohol free printing - Issues

    You should have a look at your pricing for Poly Plates. I think you will find that they are more expensive than metal. I was surprised when I discovered this, but its absolutely true in our case.

    Just looking for opinions on these as we are considering our upgrading our indigo or adding the DI. UV. Price wise they are close and the UV. would help open new markets to our company. As for the Indigo, it has been a great machine but not sure how well it would dry on plastics or matte stock...
