great thread gents, I couldn't agree with you gents more!! It seems today, Ink and water balance is less understood by a fair amount of younger operators (at least in my area). loopyg66 you are exactly right it is very important to have had a good teacher. I have had operators who were poorly...

Ymckman, When I run my spot gloss and spot dull varnish they are both spot and not on top of each other. For example, sometimes our customers will want to run large area of the dull varnish say over a black solid with type that is reversed out and then the type is printed in a color and spot...

sorry, in my earlier post I said that I run uv last and what I meant to write was that I run my aqueous coating down last. sorry, Bill

Ymckman, I run process, then spot gloss varnish, then matte or dull varnish, then overall gloss uv coating inline. This allows the matte varnish to "bleed" thru the gloss coating and give the sheet more contrast between the gloss and dull varnish. I tend to push my varnishes slightly to insure...

Freeman A. Gain, I have run different types of plastic, styrenes, yupo, cling-z, cramatica stocks and it sure is tough with out the old antistatic bar. But there is some really good aerosol antistatic spray cans that you can coat (spray) everything in the delivery every so many loads and it does...

Reyes1377 I have been in this biz for 33 yrs. and used rotodyne, westland, bottcher and others and have found the same as most everyone said in this thread that by far bottcher is paramount. like the one fellow said in this thread "sometimes you just have to bite the bullet". The saying I use is...

Our company allows the operator 20 minutes per unit make ready time. If it's a 4/c=80 minutes. 6/c with coater=120 minutes. Like everyone said in this thread, it really depends on the job, quality and if you run into any troubles along the way in your make ready. Hope this helps give you a...

Does anyone know the procedure to change and set the top knife and the bottom knife on a hess & barker web sheeter? 22 3/4" X 38" model - 8?

Al, Do you mean that when the pressman tries to make a register move at the console the unit (circumference or lateral) moves very slowly? If so, I have found that many times it is from oil that has penetrated into the motor housing. The blue cap comes loose and the oil seeps in. What I have...

Thanks Al, We are on the same page Al.....already greased the other units and I was thinking once a month squirt in each unit.

plate cylinder drifting forward on it's own? Today the second shift pressman reported to me that in fact the cylinder did not move and held it's position last night. He was very positive about it because the press has had this problem since it was about a year old and this is the first time it...

plate cylinder drifting forward on it's own? today I checked the bolts to see if they were locked down and they were. then I greased the zerk in the zero position around the cylinder and greased them again at the farthest position on each side of zero. then i let the press run and ran the...

plate cylinder drifting forward on it's own? Today I was able to take some time and look @ everything inside the unit and see how it comes apart as per junker1984's guidance. (thanks again Steve!) We are going to get the parts and go from there. In the mean time I will tighten the bolts and...

plate cylinder drifting forward on it's own? Thanks for getting back to me guys! I'll shoot you a email Junker1984. I'll keep you guys posted on how I make out fixing this problem. Sounds like Junker1984 has the answer! Bill

plate cylinder drifting forward on it's own? the movement of the cylinder does not show on the screen, nor does it show on the pot at the motor of the unit. I hooked up a meter at the motor during a run monitoring the pot and when the cylinder moves it dosen't show that it moved on the pot...

I have a Heidelberg 6/c sm/cd 102- 2004. when you make ready the register holds, but when you begin to run it will drift forward about 40 points on it's own on units 3 and 6 only. Also during a run if you move units 3 or 6 it will lock in and then drift a little later again. Has anyone...
