We have replaced the MOSS Rubber which helped but the real issue was our pressman was not putting enough ink on the press rollers on start up in the morning. The plates need a fair amount of ink on them to do a decent job of removing the silicon during the plate wash cycle.

Thanks, we will replace.

Do they act a a cushion when the plate cylinder goes on impression? Looking at the stop brackets when on impression they go all the way to the hard stop without the pad just wondering how that is possible if running bearer to bearer?

The problem turned out to be that our operator had not actually cleaned the screens (filters) but had just been tapping them to clean them. We flushed them clean and the press no longer stops during the wash cycle.

Marc, It's a little confusing but what role do they play?

Recently our plate washers do not clean up the plates very well (these are not difficult areas to clean such as simple 4-color images screened text etc) Our water tubes are working well and the cloths are nice and wet. we use 3-oz of Heidelberg 1124 solution to 1-gal of distilled water. Our...

On our Di we are missing some of the coupling rod nylon stop pads. How important is it to replace them?

Jan, We are going to tear into this tomorrow morning. I do know that the plates are not cleaning up very well and has nothing to do with water flow as we keep the tubes clean. We are going to check the bladders on the plate cleaners but again, I think we should have been able to isolate a...

SF71-all vaccums go into high and the bags are puffed up tight when we turn "on". Occassionally it makes it through the blanket cycle and SF71 is on and then it will turn itself "off" when completed. The problem then is that it did not actually clean the blanket even though it went through the...

Can not find any loose air hoses. The pump never drops below 7-bars before kicking back on and we have not been able to hear any type of leak anywhere.

We have an error code 15-07 we have checked evac motors and they are running high pressure during clean bag filters are empty as we clean them regularly we have cleaned screen filters (as we do daily) There is good suction on all units. We are not able to isolate any individual unit, it shuts...

Our QMDI stops right after the intial plate clean and just when it is about to do a blanket wash. There are no error codes. It does this on all units even when testing one at a time. We need to reboot the press and hand wash the blankets to complete the cycle.

It was the CMOS error Mother board Battery.

Paul, on a different note. We have an error message this morning SF 15-11 on our QMDI Plus the manual does not show this error. Says CMOS keyboard battery is low? Hit F1 for setup or F2 for default settings, neither does anything

reading the CP Tronic book it looks like 2M2 Printing master magazine load motor or 2Y1 Clutch for load motor may be going bad. Any thoughts?

Both. It is worse as the roll gets smaller (I believe requiring more pulling power). It seems like a motor is losing it's strength.

We are having an issue on our "Plus" the cyan plate tensioner is not pulling the plate tight. We have a parts book out but not sure what may be the cause. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

We recently had some service work done on our 6500 by an authorized Konica Minolta Service provider for another reason but we now have Ghosting on about 50% of our work. When ever we have a heavy black line (illustration of a floor plan) with 4-color next to it you will see a ghost image or the...

I read in one of the other forums to varnish in the yellow unit and pull powder in the other 3 units. My operator does not know how to put the first three on impression without the ink forms dropping and picking up powder.

VIM plates Have you tried yet? We have a QMDI that I would be interested trying the VIM plates. Could you let me know how they work out? Thanks Ron 612-991-7191
