The only true cure to gas ghosting that I've learned is plenty of dry-time. The problem usually only happens on dull stocks or covers with spot...
They are supposed to be pointed south! The sprint I ran had the same problem, the lock nut worked loose. Important tip, stir your powder with your...
Is your water R.O.d?
I have a keen ear, what can I say?
Exactly, I figured out the piling issue after the Rotoman was installed at my shop. I have to say that MAN makes an incredible web and I've also...
That was a fantastic "demonstration", however Komori's are twice as quiet!!!!
There are ways to skate around "PILING" in the sheetfed world but there are no tricks whatsoever on a high speed web. I could babysit jobs on my...
Richard, you say "color stability" within 20 sheets? What press are you running?
I think the max before changing the swing and gripper settings is .024" Do not qoute me on that though. That's awfully thick stock though. I can...
That's the sad part my friend, you give them an inch and they'll take a mile. " What do you mean you've only got 50,000 off today? Yesterday you...

I agree, 18,000 hr. is excellent. How does it handle cover stock? And how fast are the make ready's? I'm almost sold on these Heidi's!
I'm with you Steveo, I don't fight a press or let it run me. As far as your transfer cylinders go, I've seen a few different fixes to them. The...
WELL, PARDON ME, Mr. Heidelberg, I didn't mean to be offensive. So what year did Heidelberg finally switch to double back and transfers?
It all boils down to putting ink on paper. Whether you like the Rolands, the Komori's, or the Heidelbergs, thing is we all have a common thread....
Oiling the transfers before installing the T. Y. papers is a must. As far as the two settings. One that doesn't wash the cylinders and one that...
Like I said, I heard that they all came with single impression cylinders. If that was the case, yes I would steer clear of them due to slapping...
If I'm going to persuade anybody into buying a press it's definitely going to be a Komori. Although, the first press that I ever worked on was a...
