Interesting, I have been trying to hone down the art of setting good stripes during pre make-ready

Yes for the most part that is what our Ink Train looks like in our offset units I’m sure the older Chambon is similar to mine. The only difference I can tell between this diagram and the ink train diagrams we have at the plant is, there may be som subtle differences in roller locations under...

I understand now what you’re saying, my apologies. Simple answer to that is Yes. The offset units on our press do have Ink ductors, which I know we use for sure after a tandem make-ready when we have “washed up” the unit and at time have to “pre ink” that unit; however I have also in...

Cornish, the offset print decks’ rollers (form rollers & doctor rollers) are rubber or possibly a type of “rubber composite” however I am not a hundred percent sure on that. The only “hard roller” that we have in them is the “chrome roller” that nests up against the backside of the “pan” or...

Cornish, the press I am on runs various sizes (diameter wise) of lockable plate and blanket cylinders inside the offset units. We do however have a much smaller web offset press (27” web I believe) that uses the old “cassette” type units. It’s roughly closer to 30 years old to the best of my...

Wow 12 years, that’s amazing! I too have looked all over for any other manuals, books, etc for this type of press and you are correct; it almost seems as though it doesn’t exists which in our (my) case is a problem. As far as an exact year I do not know that; however the company bought and...

I too am in a very similar situation as a lead operator on a five man offset web; though I am blessed with two pressmen that are highly skilled and knowledgeable in all things printing. The only issue with this is that we are under so much stress/demand that there is very little time to train...

SteveSuffRIT, Thank you sir! I will look into that! That sounds along the lines of what I need. If there are any other resources or material(s) available that I could access or get my hands on (I do like to read, weird as that is nowadays) I would appreciate it!

Erik Nikkanen, yes you are correct. I apologize, that is a broad request. So I will try to get very specific. I am very competent with the Delivery and Roll Stand ends of the press. I’m very competent in the duties of a 2nd, when it comes to things like plates, blankets, pre make-ready, etc...

Hello, my name is Maverick. I am a lead operator on a Komori Chambon 36” Offset Web press; however I may be moving up to be a “2nd pressmen” fairly quick. My reason and hope for creating this post is to reach out to all of you that are familiar with Komori and/or are familiar with web offset...
