This is probably going to be very subjective but do you all have a favorite workflow solution? I recently started at a new shop and they are using Esko AE to build workflows and use Webcenter for proofing and job tracking... although a lot of the connections between the MIS and Esko are broken...

We installed a new Arizona about 5 months ago. White has been quite the pain. We were warned, but man if you don't print with it every day it clogs up! We are new to the wide format world and this is our first flatbed. We wipe the heads every night before we leave but should we be doing...

We are in the marketing for a new-to-us press. Looking at a 4 color probably around a 20" x 29". Currently have a 28" mitsi with the chilled rollers and dryer system and a coater tower. So I've found a couple discussions on chilled rollers but I can't help but walk still scratching my head. Do...

Sorry to be one of those guys asking such general questions, but our shop has decided to purchase a diecutter and I am in the dark as to what we should be looking for. I have had some advise from a equipment sales person but I thought I would reach out to you all and ask, what makes a good...

Do any of you guys use LithoTel Closed Loop software on your presses? We have been using it since 2000 and it's worked great. But the software is starting to act flakey and I was going to try to reload it and found out LithoTel closed shop! So I have no one to help me reload the software which...

Anyone using the Electra XD (P0080) plates having picture framing issues on press? Meaning the plate is taking ink outside the press sheet area. What fountain soultion and ink are you guys using?

We are looking at replacing a Savin 25105 with two Canon 7095's or 7105's. Can anyone offer any advice or experience using these machines?

So would it be safe to say I would want to shoot for the same dot gains for uncoated as I did for coated? I arrived at a very decent gray for coated, so would I want the same dot gain for uncoated but with the lower SID's?

Here is the situation. We have switched to a new plate (from Sword to Electra) and I keep getting the strangest behaviors of dot gain on press. (but this was happening with the Sword as well) I was doing some readings on press yesterday and noticed my dot gain for cyan was around 24% running a...

Can anyone running the thermal gold or electra XD plates tell me what they hold their conductivity at on their processor? We just installed a new processor and switched to the electra plate and our conductivity keeps dropping. I have adjusted the replenish rate but it's already sucking the jugs...

Anyone using the Kodak P80 Plate?? I've never heard of it.

Anyone else using the Sword P45 plates and running staccato? Here is our issue. We recently upgraded from Brisque to Prinergy and in the deal, switched from Fuji PJ plates to the Sword P45 plates. We could run the Fuji plates all day long with no issues. We running about 99% FM. Well since the...

We have a 1999 Mitsi 28" with delta units and for the life of us, we can figure out what the settings should be on the units. We called Mitsi and they said Delta made them. So we called Delta and they said for this year press, Mitsi made them! They are set to 0.5% now. Can anyone tell me what...

I couldn't find the answer I was looking for in the search so thought I would post a new thread. I have been reading through as many G7 documents I can find and I don't see one thing. What SID's should I shoot for to start? Everything I read says SID's aren't important and every press is...
