I fixed this by taping a piece of chipboard on the feeder with a penny taped to it, been perfect since last post.

Looking to sell our 2001 Heidelberg 46-2 and envelope feeder and if I get enough I'll throw in the Kimosetter that we used with a box of plates and some ribbons for the printer. It all works fine just upgraded to a digital machine and don't need it anymore. Asking $2500 for all of it. press can...

I ran a Crestline for 20 years, its been 10 years since we bought a digital Presstek BUT I remember changing rollers about every 2 years and you have to be diligent about deglazing and rinsing with water at the end of your wash ups. As far as not getting enough ink on the water rollers, are you...

I'm having issues with skewed #10 envelopes and registration is up and down a lot. I just printed 500 #9 returns and it registered perfect, I mean it was spot on all the way and straight? So why can't I get the #10s to print the same?

We have an Epson stylus pro 4880 for printing proofs for our Presstek 34DI. We had it all calibrated and ran some proofs and it does a good job. Now, we have a new pre press person that doesn't really understand how this works or much of any of this works. She wants the proofer to print what she...

Just got the new High Quality Powder Sprayer on our Presstek 3404 DI and need some advice on settings. I run alot of gloss 80# text and first couple jobs I changed it a few times but had quite a bit of offset so maybe I'll try p3 and a different spray powder, currently using Varn R23 which is...

DI DI I've been running a PTEK DI 34 for 18 months and it is great, I have had very few problems and it is fast and amazing BUT you have to keep up with maintenance. It's waterless and ours works well, prints well and is quite easy to operate. About 40 dollars for a set of plates and they are...

check unit color check unit color Turned out it was a press problem, after several tries to get the file to print we tried a job we had printed a couple days earlier, it wouldn't print either so then after some investigation I found the pro inking settings were all at 0 then I went to the...

We just printed our first spot color job and I ordered the Toyo ink from the same vendor we get all our DI supplies from, also the company we bought the press from. They sent me Warm Red, Trans. White, Reflex Blue and Rubine Red, all in 5 pound cans. This was supposed to be the same ink that we...

34DI spot color 34DI spot color This is actually more for the pre press person. They were trying to send a job that was 3 spot colors and black but couldn't get it to come through the rip as solid spot colors, it would send 4 plates for each color and the only one that had any content was the...

We have to send a spot color job for the first time, anyone running this that can give me some help on settings or a quick guideline for doing this? Thanks, Banjoman in NC

When we print pantone colors they are very close to the bridge book cmyk colors. Is there a way to get even better color or maybe closer to the pantone solid color? We have been looking into getting maybe monaco profiler and colorthink software but if it doesn't change the final print then why...

What inks are you PTEK guys using? I'm still using the Toyo medium tack and was wondering if there is something a little cheaper. I'm getting ready to buy some standard colors to mix a few of our regular print colors like 185 red, 294 blue, 348 green and so on. I've been running this press for a...

Anyone real good with the front end of the rip on a Presstek 34DI. We keep getting print errors and what our network computer guru is trying to solve is the problem of having to give the Macintosh computer, which is where all our design and files are done, administrative privileges. The only way...

Anyone using a PTEK 34DI that can shed some light on matching certain pantone colors like 185 red or 1585 orange, the orange and red allwas come out dirty looking, also have some troubles with yellows and certain blues and greens. most of the stuff we print looks great but some jobs that we used...
