I have had experience with the old GTo-Di from Heidleberg with non chilled rollers. as the day wore on the rollers retained heat and the ink became more difficult to control. this is why short runs would help to keep the press cool. Longer runs resulted in issues with Ink. Toyo Inks manufacture...

Fuji Pro T plates were discontinued in 2010 or 11 and a newer product which developed easier on press was introduced. People with small presses that had limited dampening or integrated dampening systems such as the Varn Compaq had trouble developing the Pro T plate. Usually a pre wet of the...

Processless plates for Platesetters. Processless plates for Platesetters. Kodak and Fuji both manufacture plates for thermal imagesetters, however Presstek makes their own imagesetters and some of them will not work with anyone elses plates. This is why it is important to buy an independent...

The real culprit The real culprit Could it be someone at GoDaddy spilled their coffee, in the server? I can see the scene in a movie now starring Andy that Conan sidekick. Where are the Typelice when you need them to blame something on. Ha.Too bad for those who hang their hats and business...

I guess I am tired of all the cheap asses in this industry trying to squeeze a nickle out of every vendor they can. I am so glad I retired. It is a shame that so many wonderful people in this industry are obscured by the people who moan about prices and dont even know the value they are getting...

I have heard a lot about Xerox and other digital presses. The Xerox 8000 is an outstanding Color machine,further I would recommend buying it from Fuji. You will not find a more reliable,dependable and forthright company to deal with. Everything is aboveboard and on the table and you will get...

I think that if you talk to users of the products you will have a better idea of the advantages of each product. I can attest to the consistency and quality of the Fuji Plate and here in the Midwest USA we have outstanding service and support as well as a consistent supply. The Rampage platform...

I have been in the business for forty plus years and the second pressman was mostly responsible for running color while the number one was working with customers, setting register. It was important to have a qualified color man to chase up and down in the units to eliminate too many changes on...

I am curious. Pro T plates were replaced by Fuji with their Ecomaxx-T plates well over a year ago. Are you sure these are Pro T plates? If so they are pretty old.

and I suppose you spell color "colour" to each his own said the farmer as he kissed his cow!â™

Blanket picture framing ghost images Blanket picture framing ghost images I experienced that same problem with ghost images from a previous run popping up on the blanket and attracting ink, and accepting ink in the same spot as the previous job. I found out that we used a blanket wash with a...

Future of Inkjet Future of Inkjet Check out the Fuji booth at Print 09show with their Inkjet press that does 80 ftper minute of high quality offset comparable color. Also the Inca Onset which does larger high speed high res color. All color managed stuff. Inkjet is here and within the next...

Stop and think about what you just said. Konica talked about their processless plates and they would throw in a processor? what is that about? The Fuji Pro V plates, do they have a processor for their processless plates? Their EcomaxxT thermals do not need a processor. I too am curious if the...

Should people be concerned about buying Kodak equipment?
