Rycoline, thats funny! ya ive read those threads about grain direction also but never really looked into it. I have been trying different mix ratios with my fountain solution and sub and have improved the framing on the sides (blanket and back cylinder) but not the back, hope you understand what...

Richkom, we use 141-143 from prisco with alkaless 3000 sub. It hasnt cleaned up the picture framing but has solved other problems. Was using questar ctp 1step but i wanted to control how much sub to use so we switched. Have tried others from prisco, bottcher,anchor,rycoline but so far 141-143...

Richkom, were you having picture framing before using these plates? Just curious because we use same plates and have the same problem also on komori press.

John, thanks for posting those photos. Thats what my press is like but without the bottom copper oscillating roller, i just have one on top of the water form.

Thanks Dan for that insight. Good stuff.

Servicetech, thanks for clearing that up for me but unfortunately i think the press you have reference to is a newer model than what i have. My press is a L528, 2003. I dont have that small gear on this press. Thanks.

Servicetech thanks for your reply. Im at home right now and im trying to picture in my head exactly what pin your referring to, also are you talking about the gear that meshes with the chrome roller gear? But then you mention the roller hanger and having to replace it. Im sorry im a little...

John, My dampening system is, starting from top to bottom. X (oscillating copper rider gear driven), V (water form gear driven by oscillating chrome), Y (oscillating chrome), W (metering roller), Z ( water pan chrome). dwk, is this a chicago area number, just wondering. Dan Roll, what is your...

thanks for your input. Unlike heidelbergs vario system i am not able to disengage the delta drive at will on this komori model. The only way i know of and tried is to take the gear off the water form eliminating the delta effect, but other issues such as hickies, dampening banding arise. The...

john, dampening system consist of standard komorimatic with delta effect, no bridge roller so not able to run intergrated. And a big AMEN to reyes1377:D

john, Yes i do run a komori its a 2003 528. The problem ive been fighting is chattering from the nylon gear on water form. I know its the gear because once i take it off and run without it the chattering goes away but other problems arise. Ive also had komori in to take a look at it and have...

John, what did you change the circumference on your water form to, thinking of doing the same thing, been having a different problem and i to feel it has something to do with the gear ratio, dampening fawl.

I to have had this problem on a 5/28 with aq and extended delivery. I traced the problem to the suction on the upswing guide plate. I just reduced the suction or turned it off completely and that took care of the problem. Don't rule out the rails under the extended delivery. I don't have a pit...

What should I torque blankets to on a Komori 28. I have asked Komori and they said to ask blanket manufacture, I did and they said ask Komori. :confused:

Dana, Thanks for your reply. Here are some settings and numbers i run dampeners. First of all my operators manual calls for 4mm form to plate, 4mm to oscillator, 3mm to metering roller, but on the 5th unit on the gear side there's a plate with roller settings on it. Oddly enough it calls for...

Press is 2003, with komorimatic delta dampeners. The chattering looks like gear streaks that are visable on the blanket and of course on the printed sheet. The streaks run full lenght across the blanket. When running a dry solid they are not there. I am sorry but I don't know what ink crowding...

seem to be having dampening roller chattering on komori L528, on all units. dampening rollers were changed about 5 months ago. any suggestions?:confused:

komori L528- after closing keys on unit 5 I noticed some keys where still not closed like the majority, so I re-zeroed according to the manual and everything looked fine, but.... after running a job and closing keys some where still open. Procedure i followed: 1. select unit 5,2. closed all...
