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'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...

We are looking at a 2001 Heidelberg Printmaster qm 46-2 color about 17 million impressions and a AB Dick 9980 with about 9 million impressions. I run quite a few envelopes and then just ncr, LH, BC and regular junk. Any input on pro's and con's of either machine? banjoman

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...

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...

In House shop gently used Nuarc, like new. We were using this until a few months ago and now it must go. Make me and offer and I have the books that came with it and I have a nice Oblique vertical plate/neg file that we bought new for $2M free with burner. This is as nice a unit you will ever...

I gotta tell ya, this Densitometer that they sent with the 34DI is a piece of CRAP or I got a lemon! I have tried calibrating, new batteries and still it is so inconsistant. I can read a color and then the one beside it will be 20 points different then I read it again and it changes 20 points. I...

I have been running this 34DI for about 4 months and I have noticed that one side is always light on ink and the other side is always dark. The operator side is always dark and the non op side is always light and it is on all colors, more so on red and yellow but it sure isn't right. I can run a...

I printed 52,000 sheets 4/4 with no problems, now I have printed 52,000 sheets and started backing that up and I'm getting tiny spots in the black that are random throughout the sheet. I washed up the press last night and when I came in this morning I cleaned out the black ink and fountain and...

Well I must say that I have called 2 different times and left a message for service and one thing is for sure, it isn't on the priority list to call back. First time I never got a call back and I called yesterday about 2:00 and haven't heard from them yet. I waited a couple hours then I went...

Anyone run short grain gloss paper through their 34 DI? I have a job and wondered if I should try it or will it give me feeding or registration problems? It will be 100,000 sheets of 100# gloss text so I need it to feed well if I'm not going to be here sleeping on a cot. banjoman

How often does the plate cleaning cloth roll need to be changed? I'm getting streaks when I start a new job and we have had the pres about 6 weeks. I wasn't sure if it gives an alert when it needs changed or if it has to be done monthly or what, I read in the book where it has a shelf life so...
