Is it possible to use metering roller wash too often? If so, what are the results? It is pretty strong stuff, isn't it? Thanks Russ

Hello I'm running a 2 color Man Roland. When I am trying to lay down a small 13" solid, the outer edges of the image area on the plate do not want to accept ink. I've replaced the water form rollers. I haven't introduced anything new (fountain solution, plates, etc) into the system. It acts...

I am getting an E-3 code. I have power, but no response from the press. I can't run or inch it. Any suggestions? Thank Russ

Thank You. Much appreciated. Russ

I looked at an older Chief 15 (green model) that we are considering picking up. I noticed that it has a lever above the speed control lever, that our Chief 17 (blue model) does not have. Is that a manual impression lever? Thanks

A buddy of mine uses the Bottcher Metering roller wash on a daily basis on his two color Man-Roland press. I've noticed that it is very stong in odor. Is this a harsh chemical? Can it be used on a daily basis? He's had problems as of late, with his water dampener rollers lately. Maybe he is...

Thanks for the replies. Fot now, I find that adding a bit of heavy binding varnish to the ink, seems to help. Russtopher

Thanks. Always metal (grained) plates.

Thanks. I'm using Anchor JRZ and alcohol substitute (3 ounces each) in bottled drinking water. It works great in my Crestline system. But as I said earlier, the dark blues and burgundy inks are a fight in the Kompac system. Thanks Russ

Hello When running dark blue or burgundy colored inks, it wants to tone. Sometimes a bit of heavy varnish added to the ink helps. Sometimes not. Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, how did to rectify it? Thanks

I have the older version that requires the sticky under-blanket and then a 3 ply blanket mounts over that. Does anyone remember what the total thickness is supposed to be? Thanks Russ

Hello I know that the Tyvek EPS are too slick to travel down the feedboard, but has anyone tried printing flat sheets of Tyvek on the Ryobi 3302 press? Thanks Russtopher

Is it possible to print on the flap of an A-6 envelope and hold registration? I am considering doing a 2 color logo on the flap of an A-6 envelope. Fairly tight registration on a one color Chief 17. Thanks Russ

Tape a bit of white paper over the sensor. And do not miss a sheet when feeding, or you will print on impression cylinder.

We have a Chief 17 with a Kompac II on it. It runs great with black ink, but tones with color inks (Reflex blue, red, etc). Anyone else ever have this problem? I am running JRZ fountain solution with a small amount of alcohol substitute. Thanks Russ

No. Would not want Crestlines on the hiedi's or Meihle's.

Yes, I prefer the Crestlines over the Kompac's. I ran one of the first 3302's in the States. It had the conventional cloth dampeners. Love the dampeners on the Heidi's and Meihle's. Russ

Dan Why would you want Crestlines on your Hiedi or Meihle?

Same here. I run only metal plates.

The Crestlines work best with Anchor JRZ (FujiFilm product now) at 3ounces per gallon and two ounces of alcohol substitute.
