Im asking because its put away otherwise I would print myself. I won't be able to check for a while myself. I was told the cold can shrink the rollers and damage them.

What is a fanatney rod and what do they cost? Do you think the hard rollers would need to be replaced also? And is it only the rollers that would be wrecked? Nothing would have to be tweaked again and nothing else replaced?

A year ago I had all new rollers put on a AB Dick press. That and a bunch of oil based ink was left in a garage with no heat. Its a shack like a garage with no heat at all which can be minus 25 at times since its canada. Can this wreck the ink and rollers? Or when it thaws out will it be fine...

Thank you. So its okay for the t head ink to touch the press ink on the blanket as long as it has less TAC? And normally people add less TAC to the t head ink not more to the press ink?

Why do you need a plate bigger then the blanket for 2 colors but not one? I am confused? What is the contamination?

I am going to be doing 2 color printing with a t head and the colors may come into contact a bit. I was told I need to have a higher TAC in the first color. How do I add TAC? Or is it that you don't add TAC but you instead lower it in the second color? And will this also effect a slight shade...

I get what your saying. But even if I printed blue for the background that won't help me figure out the spot colors thats sitting on top of the blue? If I figure out the blue color then I could pantone color match the spot colors on top of the blue. Then I would just minus the blue color...

I used a 360 and it has flawless registration. It was spot on so perfect that when you looked with a 10x loop on a page that had the same thing printed over it twice you could not even tell your print had two passes done. Impossible to tell. So I can say the 360 has flawless registration. It...

I don't know of anything either but Michael Smith says he uses additives to make ink super opaque so I wonder what he adds?

What additives can you add to ink to make it super opaque? Like if you were to want to print opaque white to black paper? What additives can you add to make it super opaque?

I was thinking the same thing! If I color matched the blue background then how do I turn that receipt into a digital one so I can also do this? For instance if it was half a pound of yellow and a quarter pound green. How would I turn that into a digital value?

Someone left a very good response and now its deleted. That's strange why do post get completely deleted?

Let me be clear. The colors you want to match are printed on the light blue printed paper. How can you figure out what pantone colors those are since the colors will show a bit different being printed on light blue printed paper?

How do you pantone color match spot colors on colored paper? For instance say all these spot colors are printed on a very light blue printed paper, the colors won't show up the same color as if they were on white paper which would make it easy to pantone color match. How would you go about it if...

Most metal plates are made with negatives of course. But can anyone with experience who has used positive metal plates burnt with positive film tell me what the differences is? Obviously its easier to proof a positive then a negative so I assume everyone would do positive plates but they don't...

I spoke to an an dick expert and he said a brand new ab dick 360 when made will actually give you registration within .17mm and I must say that's pretty tight from what people are saying. He says if the machine is old and worn down the registration goes up from there. So for it to be 1mm to 2mm...

4 people responded but nobody is responding to question. The question is how many mm off is the registration? For instance 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm etc.. If I print 10k or more what mm will my registration be in? Bashing the press and calling it crap for registration is far from the response I'm looking...

As long as the registration is no wider then 1mm square on an ab dick 360 and can stay consistent like that when printing 10k plus sheets then that is fine for us. Or does it print farther away then 1mm square or can?

Can you tell me in mm how far off the registration is on the sheets?

I only want to hear from an ab dick 360 operators. Can you tell me what the regular registration gap is for an ab dick 360? For instance if I print 10,000 pages of lines or text and take that same paper and put it back through to print the same text and lines over it how much will it be off in...
