    Torque

    It (Over-torquing) has more to do with shortening the life of the blanket by taking away the ability to absorb a hit or a wrinkle which then turns into equipment downtime. Just a thought, If a packaging press is running board at 10,000 impressions an hour and each impression is worth .30...

    Roller life - Specifically Soft duro type

    Water form speed can be up to 5% reduction, some equipment you can choose if you would like for the form to be reduced for hickeys. Anything over 5% causes dot issues. See picture of extreme case of circumferential comb cording on pan roller, this prints on the substrate. Etches the chrome and...

    Roller life - Specifically Soft duro type

    I have used the roller on both sheet-fed and web, mostly for UV and EB inks, (Have ran conventional as well). KBA 104, KBA 105, Hamiltons, both 32 and 40 size, Stevens, MLP 40 inch, Drent 850. are just a few. Diamond does not push as a sheet-fed roller but I have went and used it with good...

    white specs when backing up a four color solid job

    It as well sounds possible that the water base coating is not completely dry and it is gassing off a bit causing the sheets to stick together thus pulling the ink off. May see some evidence on the backs of the sheets. Most folks will run powder at a very minimum (No powder clumps) on the first...

    Elongation

    The type of backing on the blanket can effect this considerably... Some blankets have a nylon type weave placed into the backing to help resolve the fan out register at the tail... OMO...

    Elongation

    May also want to consider that folks are now sometimes replacing the packing paper with mylar/perma-pack. I think that the blankets are more prone to movement thus effecting register at the tail. The Operators solution is to apply even more torque. I would not use mylar/perma-pack on the...

    Buying a used Press Roland 706+LV Good or bad

    As stated by "On Demand Bindery" I as well have seen and have heard from lots of others that the electrical portion on a Man can be a real hard climb to getting the equipment up and running right. I have seen some Man Roland presses that have about 30 to 50% of their overall downtime related...

    Buying a used Press Roland 706+LV Good or bad

    Just my opinion.... The pad has to be exceptional.....The best that you can afford... (No short cuts, must be the best) Some folks have had issues with getting the equipment to line up good again after relocation....... Have a site testing performed before taking the press out to see what...

    Torque

    (Determine settings for each type used) Each blanket is a little different depending on the backing. I would put blanket on press with a minimum setting to get started. (Document) Run press on pressure for 50 impressions. Shut press down and inspect sheet for register and printing defects...

    Double image and front edge damage SM52

    Greetings, If thicker substrate produces better results, probably gripper bars. (Sheet slipping out of bars or gripper tip is getting in the way.) Is the image still doubled when only running this unit by itself with no other blanket impressions from other units on? If it runs clean by...

    white specs when backing up a four color solid job

    Might want to check spray powder unit. (Some folks call them powder bombs) You might try turning powder down as far as able and run small lifts. Have seen small droplets of oil and water blowing out of air lines (Sheet hold-downs) throughout press line. Water or oil can do something similar...
