PrintPlaneteers,
I hope there are some press operators and others who are familiar with the Manroland Favorit press.
I have a contact in Europe who has this press and they are interested in testing my technology that eliminates ink/water balance and the related density variation. This contact is not a press operator but more of a technical administrator and the organization is not a commercial printer.
I will be getting dimensions from that contact so that I can design a simple version of the concept but I suspect that it will not be as easy to get operating info which I would like to know about. So I have some questions that I am hoping knowledgeable users can provide on that specific press.
Questions
1.
How is the ink fountain roller driven?
Is it driven with an independent drive (separate motor), a continuous drive that is mechanically driven from the press drive or a ratchet drive of some kind?
2.
Is the ink fountain roller speed adjustable and how is it adjusted?
3.
Does the ink fountain roller rotation stop when the press is running but paper is not being fed and printed?
4.
Can the ink fountain roller be stopped when the press is printing paper?
5.
To stop feeding ink into the roller train, is stopping the ductor action the only way ink feed is stopped?
Answers to these specific questions would be very helpful, especially from operators of this press.
Thanks to all who can provide some comments on this press.
