Hello everybody, my experience with the GTO and DDS system is very little. First off our pressman quit and I had to learn the GTO the hard way only having operator experience on a half web. Fortunately I have had some helper experience on Heidelberg 72's.
I noticed on the 4th unit Yellow that the stripes thoughout the DDS unit were fat on one end and skinny on the other end. So when I had the time I restriped all the dampening rollers. Since then the only way I can keep the plate clean is by lowering the distributor roller that contacts the inking rollers with the dampening rollers. I think if I remember right on the bigger 72's they call this roller the z-roller. Well this causes problems too but it has gotten me by and luckily it's the yellow unit which is right in front of me.
If I disengage the distributor roller from the DDS rollers then half of the plate on the gear side scums up thick and heavy.
1996 GTO with the DDS system and don't get me wrong I really like this press.
