Actually me and the shop, but I put the rollers in. The unit ran fine for probably a year. Then out of no where it is washing out at keys 13-16 and emulsifying. I have shut off the air to roller washers thinking water or solvent may be dripping onto the rollers and that wasn't it. I ran a press years ago that would do that if we left the tanks aired up. So I am pretty sure it's a low spot in a roller. We have our water speed in the unit at the lowest possible setting. I have seen this problem before and it was a low spot in a roller from a sheet I found wrapped around a roller. We had the problem until we replaced them all, because we couldn't find a low spot in a roller. Actually I am sure I could have because I knew where the sheet was, but the shop just replaced them all. Trying to fix this our head pressman, replaced the water form, the pan roller and the first ink form. He did this because we run the press integrated. The press likes to tone and our water speeds are high if we run deintegrated. We run a two step fountain solution and we are dosing it heavy. Our roller chiller system isn't working that great. We can only chill the ink train to around 70 faranheight. Because of something being screwed up on the refrigerant side. I day head pressman because I am in a union shop and we have a guy that's ran all of the presses, but doesn't anymore and is above me. I run the press and he helps out if we have a problem like this and orders stuff we need and makes sure everything runs smoothly.
We have had this problem for around the past three months.
