We find that aftermarket water rollers are basically garbage. The oem rollers are expensive but will run way better, especially the metering roller. Also I've had to turn down the water pressure coming out of the metal pan tubes quite a bit to avoid it forcing drips over the oposite edge of...

No problem. Its a trick we've been doing for years. Just noticed you're in Covington, I'm in Lafayette by the way.

A trick we use is to trim the blankets slightly narrower than the plate width. This keeps ink edge build up from migrating from one head to the other via transfer cylinder.

I run a 3304HA, and the E-2 code on my machine is for one of the air valves for the autoplate loaders. Never seen that happen while running on impression though. The only time I get it is if I accidentally interrupt the plate loading sequence.

Looks like plain ole hickeys. Dried ink migrating around the ink or water system.

Seems like a great machine. Easy to setup and use. Color and quality seem excellent. Well built solid construction. Run the label art through a rip for ease of setup and color control. Easy to use self maintenance (circulate ink, clean print head etc). *This was seen "on the showroom floor" and...

Long shot. did you ever find the label press you were looking for?

Going to look at a setup friday.

Anyone have experience with memjet printing? Specifically the Colordyne 2600 or Trojan 2 mini presses. Would love to chat with someone actually running one in a production environment. Thanks Sean

What kind of water system are you running on the 3302?

Thanks Chris...Contacted them and ordered what we needed. Gotta keep them machines running.

Looking for a source of parts for the same machine I'm hoping someone replies with a link to parts for these old machines. we're currently looking for parts as well.

Check the "slop" play on your ink form rollers. Thats side to side movement. Night latches on idler rollers out try to move form rollers from op side to nonop side. If there is a bit of play that could be the problem. I've seen and corrected this often. There is an allen screw with a locking nut...

Glad you worked it all out. I"m gonna have to remember about the black set to pure black and overprint. Gonna be in the UK in about a month. My wife is from London and was talking about going to Newquay (your neck of the woods). She said its beautiful, but timing and family arrangements might...

Hi, saw this thread on the efi site and replied. Not sure if this will work but in command workstation under job properties, go to color tab and try checking the box for composite overprint. It has worked for me more often than not. Hope this helps.

3302 with Kompacs are the way to go. The 3302HA is an awesome machine, but way to steep a learning curve for an inexperienced operator. Keep an eye out for a Ryobi 3300 maybe. It's basically a single color version of the 3302. Main advantage over the 3200 is that it has a register board like the...

First off if Reflex Blue is your corporate color than you should expect it to be nearly impossible to reproduce using CMYK. Certain Pantone colors just do not reproduce well using process methods, Reflex Blue being one of these. The printer should have mentioned this. Reflex can be difficult...

Just my two cents. Been running Ryobi presses for years, even a 3200 once. In my opinion a Ryobi 3302, preferably with Kompacs (water system) will take you far. From envelopes to roughly 13" by 17.75". Good roller train for nice coverage. Not a big fan of Multis or Davidsons both too old and out...

I agree with ziggy33... I used to run 4-color all the time on a 3302M, fortunately for me the M had been converted to Kompacs. 3302H would have been a great step up in water systems as well as plate clamps, but the 3304HA I run now is awesome. Best of luck.
