Hi does anyone have any Pantone references for the input when setting up jobs? ie Pantone 485 with LAB references and col filter. I have several pages of them but get stuck from time to time and have to create my own using the qualitronic. Just saves a bit of time for me Thanks

Hi isn't the technotrans the " dampening circulation device"?

We have an old Speedmaster with cp1 Tronic that's reading 13% alcohol on the console but only reading 8% at the tank. The alcohol symbol on the screen is always flashing as of it never balances at the set 10%. The alcohol probe has had the small filter cleaned and it sucks ok. The tank has been...

What's the best press for printing cartons? What should be looked out for when purchasing a 2nd hand press that will be used for printing thicker substrates? Is it advisable to purchase a press that is predominantly running paper jobs to run carton work? How fast can you actually run thicker...

Hi can you give me a picture as an example?.we have limited spare parts book. Thanks

Hi. The Roland 700 I'm currently working on prints alot of board 450 mic-600 mic and the feeder foot always snags the sheet as it picks it up.If you move the feeder head outwards it will pick up doubles etc. Is there a foot for board and one for paper.? The sheet separators are tapered and seem...

The best solution I've found is when you have the plate in the hopper ready to go on, get some baby powder and trickle it down the plate.The difference is unbelievable and you only need to do this once a week or so. I went from errors in plate loading and poor/ slow register to no problem...

Yes.every time both mechanical detector and electronic. The manual says either put a single sheet in the lays or set it when sheets are going through the press

Hi I've got a problem with the electronic double sheet detector when running 80g offset.Even when it's set it will let doubles and triples through without stopping the press. I've only encountered this on light stock but can play up a bit when backing up jobs with areas of print that travel over...

Wow, I've never heard of that before, but if that works il definitely try it.Next time 80gsm offset is on. Thanks for your input

Uncoated, SRA2. We recently had the feeder clutch rebuilt, every other stock runs great.doesnt matter where the sheet separators are or position of suckers etc, I just can't get any consistency out my settings

Hi, does any one know how to speed up the response on the register. When a unit is selected to move in any given direction the response is very slow and once it does move were constantly chasing the result to get it to settle. From where you start out on the makeready to where you end up is a...

Does anyone have a sure fire way of printing 80gsm offset at speed? All other stocks are ok. I've tried so many ways with sheet separators/ Air that I'm loosing my will. Does anyone use brush sheet separators? As we don't have any, I'm thinking this could help. What position of suckers/...

Does anyone have a sure fire way of printing 80gsm offset at speed, every other stock is fine. I've tried so many ways with sheet separators/ air/ suckers that I'm loosing my will. Does anyone use brush sheet separators, as we have not got any I've aired the stack thougherly with air gun as I...

Make sure form roller oscillators are turned off and that the form rollers are not moving in the journal, if they are pack them out with litho plate shims

Both long and short anything over 128gsm it marks on the back edge, it mainly seems to come from between the black snd cyan units, there's only a few transfers and they are spotless

Hi, The R300 that I'm new to has serious marking problem mainly on the tail edge when printing anything over 170gsm.All the transfers are spotless and brand-new super blue nets on the 6th transfer to delivery. I've been told that this press didn't come with the pumps or software to have the...

Thanks for the info, I'll have a look at the oscillation when I get back to work. I have sorted it a little by setting the rollers and putting shims in the journals that hold the form rollers but will also turn the delta off as I know the other operator has it on permanently. It's always a pain...

Hi, I've got a problem with a unit tinting towards the back edge of an A2 sheet, on a Roland 300 mainly on the drive side.All rollers are set good to plate but haven't taken any out yet to look at stripes to oscillators. This is very noticeable when there is not much image on the sheet. I'm...

cheers Turbotom, it appears that the brass shaker at the bottom of the powder hopper was not set right as well as the digitronic % buttons having dirty contacts within the black circuit box.Somehow the didgitronic stopped pulsing in the middle of a run and then started working again.....sneaky...
