Throwing it out there anyone having issues with picking on a komori?Ran Heidelbergs for most of my career now on a Komori and finding that you have to watch for picking a lot more. We have noticed it more on certain stocks. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Ran Both presses. Komori prints well but Heidelberg in my books is far more user friendly great support and will attract more pressman. Komori is cheap but you get what you pay for.Heidi XL is the cream of the crop prints a awesome no marking fast MR to run. I run a Komori now and not a day goes...

I love the Heidi CD. best press and most user friendly.Running a Komori now and like all others who have posted most concerns are mine also.Heidi has local service Komori does not.All press have their quirks but I think Heidi is still the best just to expensive for the economy right now and...

I used to run a CD Best press I ever ran! Fast make ready awesome feeder very user friendly.Diff between 102 and CD is price also. Runs thick board all day long no marking or scuffing. I run a Komori now and it prints well and is a alright press but I'm sure if we did a survey 9 out of ten...

Komori AI Komori AI Komori has the AI system.Works very well just a more bloated version of the Heidelberg.Komori system is very nice just a FAR less user friendly console then heidelberg.

true true True you have to pick and choose the jobs you perfect. For long runs that our 4 over 4 you can't touch it. Small runs or very fussy work you will time and time again go back to running one side at a time.

yep yep Should work fine. We have just installed 10/c komori. We can run a thick card perfected keeping in mind proper gutters and coverage.

Great point Great point One has to step back and not be so quick to blame the press.One thing are instructor is really trying to get across to us is to step back and make sure you are doing everything right.Pick up the manual and make sure! It will be tough to learn a new press after running...

So far impressed So far impressed Thanks for the feed back. So far I'm very impressed with the new BIG girl. It will be a huge learning curve and with any new press a fair amount of hair loss will happen. I fully expect once we figure out the the quirks with the press we should be flying. The...

Awesome Awesome Hey thanks it looks very cool worth a look into

We have a new 40in 10/c lithrone perfector. The cleaning of the ink fountains seems to be a huge task.I am use to the Heidi ink fountain liners ,,,just pull the ink and toss the foils. Not having the ink liners really takes a great deal of more time plus you can't wash the ink ball roller up...

Hey dude you in edmonton? I work at ION in nisku.We are installing a 10/c perfector Komori. Pretty scary after running a Heidi my whole life.

Well said! Totally correct. The true journeyman pressman is a dying breed.I would love to see some of the young guys run a 4 color job on a 2/c press. Remember those days when only the big shops had the 4/c color presses. We have become the 7/11 of printers. How fast and how cheap you can...

hickies hickies Can't see it being the plate giving you hickies. Plates will go blind or senistive to scratches are more common plate problems. Pull rollers and clean then for a start. Then you can reset your rollers that should really help. A couple times a week run in some roller cleaner or...

Awesome product Awesome product You want a super fast Varnish that'sd like satin or gloss coating and dries RIGHT NOW. H&S makes a varnish called PRINTLAC Varnish. Try it you'll owe me a beer! My press has a coater but our little 4/c sm52 varnishes solids and unreal dries fast ! Awesome stuff

coating coating Run your coating thinner about 23 sec . Talk to your coating supplier. Up in Can in the winter we have had coating come in that had gotten partly frozen and grief insued. Also if getting low in the barrel coating may go funky on you. We have both Analox and two roller system...

timing timing We have a 1999 sm74 and yep the heidelberg guy is bang on. it's the timing chain.We have had tech's in to fix it and runs great. Get the air hose fixed that will give you a lot of feeder grief if running heavy card.

Up in Canada here. Edmonton to be exact.Average wage for the big presses 28inch and up ranges from 30 to 35 and hour. Plus shift diff for nights 2 bucks more an hour. Pretty hard to avoid night shift on big presses due to the nature of the trade and rush jobs. Gotta agree you get what you pay...

At our shop we call set-off .......RE-RUN...

tricky tricky Can be tricky. The art dept must imposition jobs with proper gutters so you will not get marking. Eg the slowdowns in delivery. Some jobs will mark some will not. Check on specific inks for perfecting. No matter how good they say it is it still marks a bit. You will have to pick...
