I know this has been posted before but...if straight water is at 900 to 1000 what would be a good start? We are running at 3400 now right out of the replenisher and I think that is too much, it climbs to over 4200 in the water pans after a few runs.
On start-up it takes forever to get ink on the paper even though ink is coming down the rollers...stripes are OK. Then it seems after you do get ink you are turning it back down because the density is too high.
Would that be because of such a high conductivity? PH is 7 to 7.5...we run a neutral fountain solution. We have in the past kept it at no more than 1000 over water out of the replinisher, but the boss thinks the product is cleaner with the fountain solution at 3400...I think its a pain in the A-- to run now.
Thoughts/Opinions??
