Komori,must be nice,ran one in the past....still,you have a stream feeder,power feeder pile lift,power delivery,and are able to rake the delivery piles without shutting the press Down...a Base GTO has none of these creature comforts...so,8 - 4 Color Forms is still a good days work on a GTO....

Curious,press sheet size?,do you have plate scanners or auto plate to help out?I'm on a base 4 color GTO thats 20 years old..

I would agree,8 - 4 color forms a day with the work involved should be consisered a good days work,seems where I work,thats still not enough,they push for 10 forms a day.....You know the old saying,there's never enough time to do it right the 1st time,but,seems they can find the time for a...

Perfector Press - Fit issues By the way,my thought to putting pieces of sandpaper on the lower gripper of the pincer bar,is to bring the pad height of the lower pincer gripper to the same height as the transfer drum at the time of sheet transfer,my pincer gripper height with the sandpaper on...

I agree totally with many of the previous Post on Gas Ghost Prevention Issues,I have had that problem in the past,as I'm sure any experienced Press Operator has,my only tip for prevention,if it hasn't already been mentioned,is to run the heavy side of the form 1st,Gloss Varnish off line and let...
