Tom,
That press should deliver tight 2 color work, using poly or metal plates. As outlined make sure the form stripes are proper, make sure your head/tail clamps are working properly and you have the proper spring tension lever selected. The plate to blanket dial should be set to your plate thickness also. Make sure your blankets are installed properly and you have installed them correctly if using the quick change bars.
There is also a nut on the op side that if to loose will allow your raise/lower to slip.
