Thank you Aaron... that is pretty much spot on to what we experienced... fortunately it was only 100,000 impressions, so only one shift of headaches :) We are having some issues with calcium build up on the edges of our rollers tho, going to a full size sheet on the press creates watering issues...

Lukas you have given the opening thru which the thesauras will come a'storming!!! I have a solution to this problem...lets just print black and white ONLY...that way no one can complain about pantone's monopoly on colour.... beer anyone??

good tradesman doesnt blame the tools...just gets the job done....

you cant make a silk purse from a sow's ear....

HTFU!!! get a teaspoon of cement mate...and HARDEN THE F**K UP!!! -Mark "Chopper" Read

Just this week using an imported cheap bond i had issues with oxidisation that i believe was related to paper ph.. every time i stopped on a changeover the plates showed spotting etc, to the point where i gummed the plates when stopping to avoid wasteage.. it did not happen on the coated stock i...

^^^ agreed^^^ on the odd occaission, you will need to deviate slightly from the pantone recipe, especially when trying to match a copy that didnt really seem to hit the pantone swatch (poor wash up? poor printing? aliens? kool aid overdose??) I dont fire off an indignant e-mail to previous...

Are the dots still on the plate or not?? For example are the screens on the plate disappearing or is it more of an ink transfer issue? And if so is this issue more out towards the ends of the image and less so in the middle of the plate? We have had some issues running our komori from running an...

There is no particular rule regarding blanket changing, i mean you dont simply say "ok its done a million impressions, time to file it". When a blanket is affecting print quality, swap it out... We often get weeks out of blankets which can equate to millions of impressions, and only change them...

I believe this horse is more or less dead hey? More whipping probably wont change that... or its bolted... or whatever..... someone please shut the gate!!! Let it go man...I give up you are right!!!! If i have to mix a colour again i wont refer to the pantone book... i will guess until i get...

We run Hostmann Steinberg Impression series on our large format presses and Best One (Toka?) on our smaller machinery, and at my second workplace we run Toyo Hysin i think it is called...all pretty good inks give us no particular problems, tho the Hostmann tends to "fly" a little on the press...

I agree with RGPW1700....you need something very late, if not latest model available, that is fully automated to the point where you really only have to supply it consumables for it to print for you, ie keep giving it ink, paper, fount, spray powder etc etc etc.....something that is either DI or...

Roger that :) "Brisbane delight"....I'll take that as a compliment backhanded as it may be :) My openmindedness is not in question, pantone is far from perfect, but its what we have to work with right?? My KOMORI isnt perfect either but you work within its limitations and simply get the job...

Mate glad to be of assistance....im here to help thats all i can say :) Intelligent comment begets intelligent response hey? Many an intelligent comment has been made in this thread, many which you have chosen to ignore but i guess its hard to see from that awfully high horse.... I stopped...

yet it would seem that any one who would simply get on with the job of matching a colour and printing the job whilst sipping from the cup of koolaid deserves the highest level of scorn....... Im not sorry and will not apologise for my opinion, if the ppl with eleventy billion inks on 100...

Agreed.... lol nothing to see here.. wait.... what???

wow...enough shots to fight a war over an issue that until this thread i had noted years ago but never considered......remotely important.... Please D Ink Man....dont get started on the war!!!! I dont have anything to add...i agree with Meddington etc, but dont disagree with D Ink Man...

D Ink Man: apologies for the "petty whining" comment, perhaps not necessary. it was your quote that set me off.... condescention irritates the shit out of me... Perhaps the lack of agreement here is more related to the parts of the industry we work in, you are in tech rep/supply side, i am in...

Global warming..... I love the warm red reply...GOLD!! Perhaps your pantone 123c thought it was pantone 123u and tried to get warmer....did you know they are DIFFERENT COLOURS?????? Residual press heat can also stay in paper stacks for a bloody long time... hand loading full stacks off our...

D Ink Man: FFs mate you have made a mountain of a molehill!!!! Perhaps you should read back some of the posts written here and have think about them and discontinue this pigheaded crusade against the evil empire that pantone would force upon us.. yes...pms 123 uncoated vs coated gives us a...
