We have an XL 105 and the vario function has disappeared from the menu, no DYN code or error has appeared, the function has just disappeared entirely from the screen. We have rebooted the press several times but it doesn't change anything. Has anyone ever seen this before?

I know on a web press when we have problems with slitter dust (rolls of paper are slit at the mill when wound) we will wipe down the sides of the rolls with a wet rag to remove the slit dust from the sides to help. Maybe wiping down the cut sides of the sheets when stacked on the skid before...

If stop buttons check out to being okay then it could be a bad guard switch. Had this happen many a time. Water especially from when a rotary union goes bad gets into the guard switches and shorts them out. If you bring up the SEK screen when this happens you can open and shut guards and watch...

Old Color King web press. Enough said.

Also if you use a spiral ductor I've seen the grove build up with ink to the point where eventually it'll start making contact when it ducts and it strips all that old dried ink particles into the roller train and makes for a ton of hickies

Thank you, and Merry Christmas to you

We've been getting a rash of HW1 faults where it will lock up the main console and the post console will display "HW1 fault main" and "HW1 fault post" Cycling the power to the main console will make it go away for a short period of time. Sometimes 5 mins sometimes a couple of shifts. Does anyone...

Brake might be getting ready to go out or solenoid for the brake activation. When that happened on our M600 you would go to walk the press the inch alarm would go off and then the red light would flash and press wouldn't move, could try to inch it again and it would move (sometimes). Also the...

Does it happen immediately after attempting to walk the press? Then occur again when attempting to walk the press again?

When you go to inch the press does the buzzer go off then buzzer quits and press doesn't move, red fault light comes on then goes off. Then if you attempt to walk the press again the same thing happens?

Sounds like a board problem. If your contiweb is anything like the ones on the M600s I work on then it'll need a board. Does it have the festoons above the rollstand with the splicing heads above reel 1? Tension on these aren't controlled like a butler, and when it goes into splicing mode they...

Hmmmm not familiar with that press but some common things are to check ductor timing to make sure you're not getting ductor marks, check stripes on roller to make sure you're not getting roller bounce marks. Those are simple things that take a short amount of time. After that you can look at...

It's a 99 model. Ours is a B- model with standard 22.25" cut-off. The difference between the A, B, and C has to do with the dampening system and top speed of the press. I think all of them can be gotten in different cutoffs too, 21",22.25", and 23.57". I remember working with a guy who had...

Then an M600 is the way to go, easy to find one in the used market, parts are easy to obtain. I currently operate an older model M600, obtains speeds of 50k/hr. Newer models run a little faster. As long as you take care of it they're dependable presses and print an excellent dot. JF 50 and JF 55...

Also check to make sure they're not ductor marks, check the ductor timing (unless you have continuous feed inking). Couple of presses I've worked on have made strange roller marks from ductor timings being out of whack. Secondly check your bearer pressure and make sure what you're getting is a...

Either cheap paper or your water supply is contaminated

What kind of book are you trying to print? Are you trying to print magazines? 4 color process? More information on the products you're trying to produce would give the information as to what press to pick. The M600 is a great press and they made a bunch of them so aftermarket parts are available...

Okay I double checked some notes and you need to open all of your keys to 40%. Without a liner in the fountain, open up the front case and use a 13mm to adjust the keys, if you're backing them off you might have to tap with a brass punch and hammer. Use a go-no go .009 feeler gauge and set it to...

At one time Flint had us add "brush flush" to the fountain solution to help mitigate algae growth. It worked okay, since then we have switched fountain solution manufacturers and the problem was mitigated in that way. If you can't change fountain solution to one with a better fungicide then...

If ink isn't emulsified then check roller settings, could be as simple as a distributor not making good contact until ink builds up and then it's slinging it
