We have a GL40 (GL540c), 2011 model which is showing a PLC Battery error. We have changed all the batteries that we know of, 1= VIMC, 2= GPU, and 3= PLC. the problem is that we can not get rid of the "F0902 "error that is displaying. Are we missing a battery somewhere? if not, how do we cancel...

We shut our machine down for 1 hour but when we turned it back on the Ink keys would not set, error "EO"comes up, we know that is "no response from the selected ink key server", we swopped the VIMC2 card with one from a LS440p and the card worked in that machine, but the 440 card would come up...

Hi, we have just replaced the main PLC board on our 8 color, and the VIMC 2 card. The problem is that we cannot programme the second 4 units (Units 5 - 8) ink duct keys to work. The blanket and cylinder washes are working, as well as the plate register, but the ink keys do not set, and show an...

Hi we are laminating sheets with a silver metallized film in house, but we are having static problems when trying to run it through our GL540c. Does anybody have any advice on how to eliminate the static from the metallized sheets. We know that we would probably need to change our air blowers on...

Thank you Leon, I will try that.

Hi, we are running a 2005 model GL540c, 40 inch size press. As far as I know on straight printing presses the packing under the plates should all be the same size thickness as well as the blankets. We have had to put different thickness packings under the plates. Our blankets are 1,95mm thick...

Thankyou, Kemtek have been working on the problem and they can not explain why this is happening. Our electricians are swopping and testing different Drives and Motors to establish what to fix but they can not figure out why it is happening.

We have 2 x 5 colour and coating presses, 1 being an LS and the other a GL. Both machines have a problem in that an ink doctor roller will stop turning while on the run or busy with a wash up. Strangely enough on both presses the first unit the problem started on was the 4th unit, our Magenta...

Any ideas on how to repair an anilox roller that has scratches on it? Obviously we dont want to lose the cell depth if possible, but a new anilox roller is not really an option right now.

usually this is caused from carrying too much water , or your forme rollers are not set correctly onto your plate/s. If you have an alcohol free press it is almost impossible to prevent ghosting. First thing though is check your water ph and your roller sizes ( including the dampers ), and settings.

Does anybody have experience running PVC Plastic on a Komori. We have been trying to run a 200mic clear PVC on the Lithrone 540 and are having major problems. With the substrate being so incredibly static we are having a major problem running it through the press, starting at the feeder the...

hi, we are running 2 Komoris, one is the LS 540, a 5 colour with coating which we run using alcohol in the water. the second machine is a K440 p perfector which we run as an alcohol free press. We are happy with our colour curve tests for which we use Pressign 2, although outdated it still...

just a piece of advise, we have found that to do scoring on the machine you have to add extra pressure on that particular unit. That in the long run will damage your impression bearing which is a very costly problem to sort out. rather use a die cutting machine if possible

could anybody let me know please what is the norm for doing a complete oil change on a machine ie, how often and what grade oil is usually used. Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated, thanx.

hi, has anybody experienced a major rust problem on the feeder head of a Komori. Our machine is 1 year old and we are no where near the sea, (which is usually a factor in rust ) We do have a slight bit of moisture in the air but not enough to cause such an amount of rust. Looking at the...
