[Scook]

Been looking for a How-To to set the Iron-to-Iron..as in Plate to blanket...blanket to blanket...blanket to plate..I have a set of the GO--NO GO-- thickness bars...I think I have figured out the turn buckles for adjusting the thickness for the gap....But I want to know which ones to do first Gear Side? Plates cylinders first? Blankets first?? Any help would be great and thank you in advance..

I would suggest contacting the press manufacturer for that detailed information in specifics to your press model / serial number. If that doesn't work pm me and I can refer you to some top notch web craft pressmen that may be able to help you. D Ink Man

Hello Scook,


Hopefully these 2 PDFs will assist you. They are from my 1968 Goss Suburban Press Manual, I wouldn't think that Goss has made many changes !!!!

Hi Scook, For Goss Community, set Blanket Cyl #12 to Plate Cyl #13 first, then Blanket Cyl #11 to Blanket Cyl #12, and set Plate Cyl #10 to Blanket Cyl #11 last. Make the adjustments on both the operating and drive sides of the printing unit with same procedures.
