Hello! We have a QM-DI Classic, and for many years we have been washing the blankets by hand (all 4 units) because our operators have said that the automatic blanket washers do not work well enough. Has anyone else had similar experiences, or are you using the auto blanket washers and having good results. Washing by hand is a bit of a time waste!

Thanks!

Hi,

The units might need re-setting, which is fairly simple task to do. What is the conditions of the blanket wash rollers like also the diameter of the rollers and also the black drive wheels. What wash solution do you use, i generally recommend Varn Pronto plus for the DI. If there is not enough solution being applied to the blanket after all the other items have been checked there is 1 additional thing that can be done but only as a last resort.
The blanket washers should be in working order as they are used in the imaging process and do help in getting rid of the silicon and in that way cutting down spots.

Regards.

Which plates are you using? and what wash cloths?

Hi,

I recommend using the Presstek / Heidelberg DI plates and also the Heidelberg plate wash cloths.
There is a lot of other people offering wash cloths that are allegedly as good as the Heidelberg ones but i find they can give other problems.

Regards.
