Does anyone have any incite on running strike through Varnish with UV? Tips on how heavy to run the Varnish and how to balance the load temps with the UV application inline. Problem is Varnish does not like heat and running Varnish and UV at the same time with load tempts high causes the Varnish...

I can give you no help..but looking forward to someone that can answer your questions...haha

Manual you mean key set? I can see that amount of time. I worked briefly on a Planeta and it was no fun..haha. KBA has come along way since their Planeta roots.

2-3 hr's seems really high. We have a 12 and 10 unit perfecting 102 and are in the 45min range. Longer if chasing marking on the jackets but no where near 2-3 hr's

Looking for some incite on UV ink misting. Our yellow units mist pretty bad..it looks like the are smoking. None of the other colors are misting. We are running a 64 KBA 8 unit perfecting..so the speed is relatively slow(7,000-8,000 IMP). We are using Hostmann UV ink. Roller settings? Ink? any...

Quad has a 64 8 unit perfecting with UV plus Roll Sheeter...it's the only one in the world

More cost with UV..you would need to run UV inks and have lights in the units also. UV inks are twice as expensive as conventional and you can't UV over conventional unless you Aquas coat it first. Dry trap the Varnish or use Kentucky Shine.

Again, turn all air blast off or to min. Through the press the air blast will blow the tail end right before it goes into the next unit. All IM. press cylinder air blast off will solve the problem.

Can only comment on Man Roland and KBA. From a pressman..no one beats the Man Roland in make ready speed if you are running small runs. KBA is a horse and is a king at runs over 50k..it feeds great and delivers 60# offset like a dream. I can not comment on Kamori or Berg, but would like to run both.

Thanks Jben..very good stuff. No we are not testing the ink we switched full board. We switched to the lower VOC ink because of a few Gas Ghosting jobs we have problems with during the year. Honest, with the other ink most of the Gas Ghosting problems we had were because of the head pressman...

This happens on our Man Roland 700. Turn off all air blast through the press. To much air and it will blow the tail end up.

Turn all air blast off through the press.

copper copper On a side note..our conductivity is around 2300 and ph is 4.9. We are mixing buy hand incase our dosers are not working right. Still the same out come. We use RO water and yes it's at zero conduct.

Switched to Bio Ink recently. Anyone having luck running this Ink? I run a Man Roland 700(1997). Recommended by our Etch supplier, we are running Etch at 2.75% and a Sub at 1%. We are still running with the same water forms as we did with the conventional ink. I'm having to run my water form...
