Im looking at some options to creat some really decent envelopes. All input much appreciated! Firstly, presses. I have run many millions on a four colour GTO over the years and had enough of that. and its now far too slow. Is there a digital press that can handle DL, C4 and C5 envelopes, and...

With water miscible wash, some pressmen prefer to pre mix solution and water in the bottle, and washup this way on one go. I prefer to use 100% solvent until the ink is gone, and then finish up with solution and a squirt of water, maybe repeat. I cant say for sure but i do beleive calcium...

having a discussion witha colleague at work. His opinion was that integrator or rider roller in the damper train does not integrate the water form roller and the inking form, he says he uses it to get ink on the form damper then locks it "off" for the production run. Older style shino with...

if i had an aooportunity to do another apprenticeship, i would probably go more for the engineering aspect and do mechanical engineering training. But thats not possible to change after you have a job, mortgage etc so stuck with it! not that its all bad. Nor all good either. So just putting it...

Hello knowledgeable people. When running a shinohara, i seem to have issues keeping consistent density, particularly on yellow. Its worst in the middle of the sheet, and then sometimes catchup on the edges. Its so sensitive, that an increase of 1 decimal on the water feed roller will wash it...

quick question, have lately had some very mottley stock, its 80-90gsm bond. At the caliper setting the print is very average. If i wind up the pressure, from 0.1 to around 0.02, the situatio improves, and a bit more ink than usual and its a sharp image. The question is, on the Shinoharas, is...

hi again, also on the list, i have a problem getting a 2 colour pm's z (intermediate) roller to contact at the setting phase. unit 2 sets and inks up fine, unit 1 wont contact at all. Its getting ink via the form damper contact only, not through intrgrating to the white forme. I have tried all...

hi all, techs are stumped after a few days. Press - Shino 75 5 colour 2005/6 model. Symptoms are - damper motors are spinning at about half speed, and the ink key settings arent getting through to the press. console is showing change, but absolutely no change at the press end. All hapened...

has anyone run one of these?? and does anyone know where i could get a complete manual or operating instructions for one? I know it was before the interent existed lol so probably no pdf. cheers

Im toying with the idea of branching out, trying to take on some jobs in a buyer/ 3rd party sense and having the printing done at a few trusted shops. Maybe making a small amount on the side. I would be doing all the marketing myself, and hunting the work. If it went ok, could purchase a...

Ok, i have this problem. When printing books and catalogues that require pressing, no matter how long i let the ink dry for, it almost always sets off, sticks together in the folded sections. Only way seems to be varnishing the 4 color secions. When i deliver the sheets to bindery, there is no...

Im looking for a desitometer, as our old (x-rite 418!!) denso died a firey death a while back. Im really only interested in Density and Dot readings. Anything else will be unnecessary for this particular plant. Thats also why im not allowed to spend $3K on a new base model gretag or x-rite. So...

Hi all, im having a few quality control issues on the press. I always have large inconsistencies in print length, which manifests itself at the last print unit. I have the colour order C-M-Y-K. This is due to the type of work we do, it means 50% less washups. The plates are still manually...

Hi mall im new here. Currently running a Heidelberg 102, older style perfector 4 colour. Runs molleton covers, but with alcohol recirc, works well. ( 1 Forme Damper) Im using DSC Acedin d fount, mainly because It runs well, last a long time and i only need 3% addition, and 2% alcohol for all...
