Is your fount solution called "solar fount", sort of dark green? We run that fount with hostmann steinberg "impression" series ink and have had problems with drying on certain stocks(matte, but only one brand of paper) and one issue with a job that was cut, folded then sent away to be inserted...

What goes down, must come up... new twist on an old theme.. my point being that the economic clime will begin to come good, and at the end of the day some of the fat has been cut, and inefficient companies will be gone. If you decide to go into running your own company go in with your eyes open...

Deeply deeply cynical these days... just another way to deepen the political trough for the snouts of our "leaders"

That was a long time ago, some time in the 70s... and i would think that the law has been since changed, but thats the way the federal police rolled back then...

I see management's side of this too, but think that the issues that staff have could be erased or minimised by simple communication between staff and management! I have heard several "disgruntled employee" horror stories too, and know that a very expensive piece of capital investment can be...

Komori's have quite a sensitive water pan alert, and an irritating bell that can go on for some time even tho the pan level appears to be fine by eye... so i can understand why the pressman acted the way he did...i have done the same thing myself! However he should perhaps have related the issue...

they work fine on our 40 and 26 inch komori's, when you have some downtime get the operator to clean the clamps! its a pain in the ass but better than gettin punted onto a folder! Unscrew and soak each clamp, use scouring pads etc to get all the gunk off and ensure that nothing will foul the...

your busting your ass to make a living and these lowlives wont even pay for an email account with which to rip you off... BASTARDS!! //deep breath head off angry rant// keep your eyes open and remember that if it smells like sh*t, looks like sh*t..... it will taste taste like sh*t too...

insecurity camera insecurity camera Its not a good situation, there are any number of preferable and far less intrusive ways to keep tabs on staff.. any management with even the slightest idea with regards to ppl skills and an understanding of workplace relations would never take this step...

hehe good reply...if printing is dead why are we runnin 3shifts, 24hr operation on our 40 and 2 shifts 19hr prod on our 26, with our 3 multi col GTO's flat out all day ?? and we are a small company too... well less than 50 employees...

nah she was properly smashed, we had plenty of spare blanket bars, plate clamps, roller stocks, dampening motors, a spare technotrans(or aki equivelent)... engineers solemnly shook heads and gave it last rights... Our last aki(628) and Roland went over there last year... keep waiting for a...

what fount are you using does it include driers? seems strange that feels fine till bindery get it mayhap we can blame them?? a liitle more alc may help dry in too, but watch balance...one forme wont hurt we ran single formes on conventional aki's all the time cos the bottom one was a BASTARD...

Stolen shorts f**kin GOLD!!!! we had a floor manager do some repair work on an aki a few years back... forgot to tighten some rather important cylinder bolts(may have been beering up whilst spannering) and then cracked the whip on the pressman to get goin... he hit run speed to warm ink and...

Poly plates are fine to get a job to fit, just dont over-tighten the back edge or you will effectively stretch the image(if you are doin good jobs on the '46 you will understand this) The ryobi-matic dampening works fine, but needs to be maintained and have correct chemistry!!! When going to...

You are on the right track here!! listen to these guys they are spot on.. i simply cant abide "a thats good enough" attitude, but am well aware that ironside and gordo would get the better response from your team rather than my "send in the marines" call :) I think that perhaps your lack of...

Re press limitations Re press limitations Good answer Ironside, agreed on all points but you are probably more diplomatic than me!! My response would have been a little more along the lines of "shape up or ship out" to the press team.. im sorry but i have worked as a pressman for about 16yrs...

Just recently we had a bearing seize on the pan roller of our 40" that gave a similar symptom, flooding one side and chewing out a roller...your prob does sound more like bad batch of rollers but be worth having a looksie at the bearings and carriers on the crestline... i dont have a lot of...

just this morning came into a puzzled note on the k26,(press hopping again), re the feeder not coming up... boofhead had left a wedge in the feedboard and it bent the reflector for the stack locator... the wedge was still jammed in the fitting!! dont ppl have eyes??? took me 5 mins to re-align...

beautiful imagery...as i understand it these are illustrations rather than pics? the pic of the brass instrument(sorry failed music badly) is particularily brilliant, perfect light and contrast... the sort of imagery that, from a printer's point of view, encourages you to make that little bit of...

"wash up for gold" (XXXX gold) heheh always good :) i think a drum of ipa is what $500, $600 odd? would be a useful saving... probably 3 drums a month...
