i am having hard time setting the water and ink ratio correctly.
sometime i get too much ink, and some times i put too little.
i ve haerd that it is very important.
is there any way test? is there any way to learn the correct ratio of these two.
i ve ryobi 3302.

i am also having problem with powder unit.
i think its not spraying evenly. i ve clean the wholes with air, at the time of cleaning it seems to work ok, but few minutes later it seems like one side is blocking. i ve cleaned it several times but i still have same problem.

thanks. please help.....

I use 2 oz of Nikken per Gallon.
Stir your powder. Gets to thick sitting in that cup.

The spray unit on your press is noted for clogging. There is a metering block within this unit and it consistantly gets clogged. As for your water/ink ratio...only experience will help you here. I guess what I'm saying is this, you will have to learn by your mistakes and the best thing to do is stay on top of what you are printing at all times. Theoretically, once you set your water you should only have to work with the ink. But keep in mind as the day progresses the machine gets warmer as the air also warms up which means you will have to adjust the water accordingly.

which type of dampening do you have on your machine? Is it Kompac, Moletton (clasical water dampener) ?
