We found that the issue is the glueing adhesive, not the coating. We use adhesive from API in California with UV coated prints. It works well with gloss coating but not with satin.

We have a step in our workflow we call "print one". After a job sent to a printer, the operator literally prints one copy of each job. We are all digital so this is reasonably simple. The print one is sent back to customer service with the job ticket and the print is ruled out to check bleed...

OffsetGuy has a strong bias against Presstek for some reason. Here's another view. We installed a Presstek 52DI in April of '07 to replace two worn out QMDIs. Granted, a DI can't do some things toner machines can do like variable data (we have four toner printers) but it does offer...

Re: heidelberg QMDI stock thickness I think the spec on maximum thickness on the QMDI is 10 pt., maybe 12 pt. We had two QMDIs and used one to run only 15 pt, which beat it up pretty bad. I traded both for a PressTek 52DI last year and the Presstek will run 15 pt with no problems. I think...
