Hi mall im new here.
Currently running a Heidelberg 102, older style perfector 4 colour. Runs molleton covers, but with alcohol recirc, works well. ( 1 Forme Damper)
Im using DSC Acedin d fount, mainly because It runs well, last a long time and i only need 3% addition, and 2% alcohol for all general printing.
The inks are Hyplus from CPI Australia. Its a korean ink, not bad, dries well on gloss with good holdout and trap.
Ok so now you know all that, We have been having issues folding and pressing work, particularly on satin papers. I have tried Satin sealers, however it just seems to take a very long time to dry, but without the sealer all you need to do is glance in the stacks direction and it will scuff.
So what from your experience do you suggest i do to try and increase turnaround? I have No Assisted drying. (IR, Airknife etc)
How long would most people leave 4 colour satin papers to sit before folding and pressing?
How can I establish that my ink is drying within the window? Gloss etc is fine, and i still had the same problem with quickset ink.
Should I load up the varnish with grafo or cobalt?
Any general information appreciated!
thanks
Scott
