Hi and thank you for reading this. I was a Heidelberg man in the late nineties, thought I would retire from printing and live in the desert. That lasted about six years, then, broke, I decided to return to the trade I "knew so well". And since '08 I've been again running a speedmaster. Sometime...

Good morning, I don't know the cell count on our rollers, but we keep our viscosity around 18-20. I think its a no.3 cup we're using. I've been told I could go as low as 14, but have not. Every aspect of this industry has layers upon layers of technical detail, and simply coating a job is...

Oh yes, I run a 6 color cd 102 and can always count on some drift in position. Not much, and always in the same unit, and always about 6 to 8 points. It's strange because it only happens once during m/r, then I'm good. It's a communication problem between the console and the unit. Our mechanic...

We have two anilox rollers, sent one out for cleaniong about a year ago when we were experimenting with "soft touch", then had the spare cleaned when we switched them out. My basic settings file does not allow for changes to the coater profile. We're also getting horizontal streaks that our...

Thanks, I'll search the console files for the coater profile adjustment. We have a cleaning product for the analox that we use with ammonia, but I wonder if anyone has alternatives for scrubbing out the cells?

De-curler works great on first pass but be advised its deseign is to induce an upcurl in each sheet by applying a vacuum between two polished cylindars. It can sometimes scratch the back of cheap coated stocks and if your pressman forgets to turn it off for the backup it will destroy all your...

We get this effect more in summer that winter, strange but pressroom humidity seems to have an effect on picture framing. You're correct that it is not a big problem until you get a misregistered sheet stuck on all that ink, ugh! It is a chemical problem, but more sensitive to ambient temp and...

Hi, I run a Heidelberg speedmaster 6c with coater and extended delivery. Recently seeing ink buildup on coater blanket when running satin coating. Not so much, but still evident with gloss. Does anyone have thoughts about the cause of this? I think its a chemical problem, as packing and anilox...

Yes, the strike thru must be run very heavy, hissing like a spooked rattler
