Dial indicator will tell you whats going on. We had a press do this, ran compressible blankets but registration was a problem, one day it became a big problem. We put a dial indicator on the impression cyl to find out the final grind had never been done on the impression cyl.

I once hired a pressman that had come from another company, he was use to long runs, so there wasn't much setup, basically set up and watch it run. His company closed and he came to work for us. Knowledgeable man. In all my years of hiring, I have never had an employee break down in front of...

Hard to tell but it looks like a label press.. might be a flexo one, don't know the name.

Whats your PH on your water solution? You should be running about 4.5. Reducer is NOT your friend.

Get in contact with this fellow, his name is Rich, knows a lot about Riso. Company name is Green Office Supply. This is a common assy.. too bad I didn't see this sooner, junked one not all that long ago.. chil1rp@yahoo.com

Go to Riso's website. They have all drivers avail for downloading.

Correct.

On a press with conventional its much easier to get it balanced once the ductor is saturated. On a press with quad flow, tri flow or Dahlgren the ink/water is combined, but dampening happens immediately.

Your 860s should have either quad flow or tri flow, the 175s had conventional. Anyway, the best way to start up a dry web is to have a very small sponge in the tray, start the press on a slow idle, while the doctor is spinning add fountain solution to it only with the fountain water on. Drop...

Appreciate the info... trust me, I'm not done with these people.

The problem that we have had since October is still going on. The engineers are "looking into it" So we've had a machine that has not been correct since Oct.

Check with your plate supplier they should be able to point you in the right direction.

Kinda tough to tell but it looks like you printed your film out on a laser printer and tried it as a negative. As a result the light from the plate burner went right through the dark portion of your film as its not dense enough to hold back light. First off you should be using a gray scale to...

Yes, we run webs but had the same exact problem. Cheaper but your going to spend more money in adjusting then its worth. We don't run them anymore.

If you have to go with metal, and use film there is no way around. Zante is a very low end machine, there's no way on earth your gonna get that to register. You'll have to do the math, but if your usage is real low, farming it out will be your best route. There are some low end machines that...

I have one of these.. I would not recommend burning plates from the film it produces, unless you are going with a very low end quality.. screens are out of the question.. thats when my machine was new. If you can go straight to poly, do that instead, a lot less hassle and disappointment. You...

I've always had Mac laptops, they last a very long time, so yes your shelling out some bucks but you don't have to do it as often, my last one was still okay, its over 8 years old. I've got a MacBook Pro... great machine, I'd recommend to anyone.

No such thing as a dumb question. If you find someone to burn your plates they will probably have their own system, your plates may not work with their platemaker. As long as the density in the film is correct your good to go, I don't recall what it is off hand. You just need it dark enough...

I know around here getting film is no easy trick.. just a thought but why don' t you find someone to make plates for you from your electronic art?

I'm not bashing a product, but if I can save another printer from going through what we are having to deal with, I will. We purchased a new Gluntz and Jensen 2500 Plate Writer, the install went flawless, the machine operated great. Most of the problems we had was our learning curve as we went...
