First off, I want to thank everyone for their patience and input regarding the questions I ask here. I'm new to the Ryobi and while I think I've printed some good stuff in the past couple of years, I still have a lot to learn. I'm feeding 80# cardstock again, 11.5 x 17.5, this time on a...

Hi Al, Thanks for the response. I did try messing with it, but with no good results. If I made the gap too wide, the paper was erratic and jam-ups occurred. If I made the gap too tight, the sheet was binding at the headstop. In both cases, it still made that sound. I'll be switching to...

Thanks for the response, Printdog. That makes sense. The sound didn't go away when I turned up the speed but if you say it's nothing to worry about, I'm inclined to believe you because it doesn't seem to be affecting anything. At this point, whatever it takes to get this job done, I'll have...

Hey, thanks for your response. I actually found out what the problem was with the scumming: though I had checked my roller pressures, the locknut on the third form roller was not tight enough on the NOPS, causing the roller to sort of jimmy out of adjustment. I was sure to tighten it better...

Hi all, I'm trying to run a job at the moment under a pretty brutal deadline, and I'm having a couple of issues, one with the Crestlines and one in general on the Ryobi. FYI, it's a Ryobi 3302 with Crestlines. I'm running poly plates and 60# uncoated text weight paper. The job is a pamphlet...

Disregard, I just figured it out! The light is sort of bad on the rear side of the cutter, and I didn't realize that the two small bolts with locknuts can be adjusted in or out to hold the backstop in place once you get it leveled out. They were backed way the hell out, which is why I could...

Hey all, I've got this Challenge MC-305 hydraulic cutter, and it's pretty great, except that the backstop keeps coming out of square which makes it all but useless. I can literally skew the backstop with my hands, and even if I set it back to where it is, the force of the machine as it's...

Al, I wasn't even gonna sweat the e-mail thing because it wasn't a big deal at all. Lenny really is a nice guy and his excellent service made up for whatever downfalls I anticipated beforehand. - Lantz

Hey all, so just a little update. Len Popkin came by today and was a super awesome guy. He got my second unit dialed in and went out of his way to show / teach me things so that I could save some money and do it myself in the future. The plate clamp on my first unit is not opening properly on...

Nothing personal against Jack Popkin or United Graphics Systems - I'm sure both of them have excellent and competent technicians. I just think they should be upfront about the best way to reach them. I have no problem calling, but sometimes it's easier to explain a particular issue in writing...

Hey Bob, thanks for the info. I actually did send those folks an e-mail via their contact form on their website, but never got a response. I guess I'll just have to give them a call. The same actually goes for this other place in Englewood, NJ. I wonder why they bother having e-mail as an...

Thanks for the advice, Al. I guess in the meantime I'll try to just try to get it worked out myself. Those Crestlines have just been really impossible for me to get dialed in, and they take forever to clean up. Every day I spend hours messing with them, and when I think I've made progress...

It yielded one equipment dealer, Crystal Graphics, which is the dealer I bought the press from. They were awful to deal with. I have no desire to deal with them anymore, and even if I did, I wouldn't trust them to do anything right. - Lantz

Thanks for your reply, Al. Unfortunately, this search does not yield any useful results, and I made several similar searches before resorting to asking for help on the forums. Does anyone happen to personally know of a Ryobi tech in the NYC area? A guy from Boston got in touch with me via...

Hey all, Pretty sure this is my first post in this forum, but I look at it frequently. So hello and thanks for all the helpful threads you all have contributed to. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a Ryobi service tech in the New York City area? I've got a Ryobi 3302 with Crestlines that I'm...
