Conventional damp

dear sir
Wanted to know if convenientonal damping
Was okay
For print quality compared to alcolour

 

Conventional damping is ok but you need a minder who knows how to run it, once it's running good, the quality should be the same as Alcolor. You can always add Alcohol up to 10% to your dampening solution. Good luck

 

Ok sir noted will look for a good operator
Thanks

 

What you really need is an operator that's old enough to remember all the tricks to running a press with conventional dampening. I think it would be fair to say, that many of the qualified guys I'm talking about, are either retired, or would rather not have to deal with all the extra work. Back in the days of conventional dampening a good multicolor pressman was highly skilled, and well paid. Most companies would rather not have to lay out the coin to get such a guy, and would wind up getting someone off the broom to run the press, and screw up a bunch of jobs while he learns!!!

 

Dear sir
I recently purchased a sormz alcolour
Just wanted to check if it prints 4 colour jobs
Well
It’s a 1992 model without cpc
Wanted to buy a sm 74/2 colours but was falling short of Budget I was told sormz can do the job

 

It is an awesome machine, and will serve you well given it is properly maintained. A bit of extra work to run 4/c, versus a more automated machine such as the 74/2c, but also less repairs.

 

Thanks sir for your feed back I got a 1992 model in very good condition from France
As u said less repairs is correct will make
Sure it’s very well maintained
Thanks

 

If this sormz is good then I will buy 1 more
Will this be a good idea to finish the 4 colour
Work faster
We also print text books which required printing on back side of the paper
Pls suggest
Many thanks

 

1992 SORMZ with Alcolor is a nice press, and if it’s in good shape, it may actually print better than an SM74. The key to quality and efficiency on some of these older machines is simply having experienced operators.

 

Yes sir will get a very good operator
Thanks
