A single colour GTO with the right person running it can produce work to match any 5 colour on the market today. It takes time and skill tho which...
I had a similar problem years ago with an old Rotaprint. It would just cut out without rhyme or reason. Several people came and looked and went...
Agreed. It isn't an easy industry to start up in at the moment and I would strongly encourage a newcomer to think again but if you're sure you...
Yeah the don't seem to come along that often. The one I'm most familiar with is the Esko Graphics one that looks like two black cubes have...
Old Fa*t, I'll give it a go doing 3c in that order ... I don't think I have done before and it makes a lot of sense, provided the plates are...
The very best of luck to you buddy. I took redundancy from the marketing department of a nation-wide manufacturer about 18 months ago so I decided...
Are they 30/90 plates? - They DO fit a GTO 46 if they are (even if they're pre-unched) ... in which case, I might be interested.
Depends more on the board you use, I would say. It always takes longer to dry but I tend to use Hostman Steinberg ink and Advocate board. It still...
Good point. I hope so. It's not like you can really compete with other printers in the UK these days if you're using an old 30/90 with chute...
That sounds like progress. Out of interest, which order does your DI put the colours down? I know very little about DI other than I could probably...
There where a couple on ebay the other day ... probably still there. Why do want a Rotaprint specifically? It's not like they're the best of...
I normally decide which colours to do first by looking at the job in hand. I tend to always do black last. A very skilled printer I know swore...
I regularly do 4c work these days on a SINGLE COLOUR Heidelberg GTO and provided you keep the colour as constant as you can, you can get very very...
I'd agree with everything Plotter has said here ... AB Dick 9810 will run envelopes all day long at high speed, as will a Riso or a Duplo digital...
Hi Plotter, Yes, I'd concur with that. Sivermasters seem like a good idea but as you say, they need to be kept clean and used regularly....
Can't remember the name but yes; the one that looks a bit like frosted glass. Myriad rings a bell. You can also get an aerosol to enhance the...
It's the way I was taught as well. I used to use and Esko Graphics process camera and before that it was some ancient thing my dad bought...
Nope. I totally understand. I spent 10 years in shirt & tie until the start of last year when I took redundancy and I've gone back to getting my...
Yeah ... they're not worth buying unless you are going to use them regularly. That's a bit of a general problem with print ... besides a press,...
Good choice. Having continuous damping will really help too.
