We have a 2001 QMDI that we no longer run. Our pressmen passed away and we are no longer going to be doing offset printing. It has been a good press but our business has changed so we have decided to offer it for sale. $1,000 takes it. You will need to take it down and remove it from our site...

one last thing. When it shuts down, the press is always out of time and we have to re-timeto the correct positions.

Also when it shuts down all units shut off except the magenta. So when you start up again only the magenta unit is turned on unless you remember to turn on the other 3.

Our QMDI Plus will not feed when we use all 4-units on impression it will print up to 3 at a time then with 4 it shuts down (as if a miss feed) The air pressure never drops below 7.5 bars so short stroke does not seem to be the issue. We know when the X7 is the issue as the vacuums rev way up...

Jan, Which part is the electrovalve? Our problem is the yellow unit overspills and it says there are 11 pate left but we ran out due to overspooling randomly.

Paul, On the yellow unit only, a full roll will waste about 11-plates as it over advances sometimes. When we try to manually advance the plate and restart the plating process it will again do another advance while running before the imaging starts. all other units will work fine in both...

I have not tried lowering the chiller to 20c yet, but running it at 24c the oscillators are at 25c and the rollers at 26c (give or take little depending on which unit you are checking as the higher (cyan) runs a little warmer than the yellow (we took off our dryer bulb as all it did was add...

You are correct about the coated text weight paper as it relates to the release/tack because uncoated paper (little tack) is no problem and a stiffer cover weight sheet even though it is coated is able to release from the blanket without much problem. Just seems like others should be having the...

Again, we have tried all temps. We have a fairly controlled environment. We use a digital infrared thermometer to check our roller temps as well as our plate and back cylinder temps. Too warm you tone, too cool the ink does not transfer correctly and you will need to really open up your keys and...

We do start up heavy with our inks as light simply does not work. We print with minimum impression and densities may vary a little if we are trying to color match others work but we like to run C120,M125, Y95, K170-185 but again these can vary depending on the work. No doubt the heavier you can...

Marc, we have did all that. we have been in the printing business for over 40-years but this problem is puzzling. It may be something mechanical but just not sure. We have tried 4-brands of ink and always go back to Toyo but need to add their reducing fluid. The piling/picking is always on the...

This may or may not be chiller related as we have played with all temps. Only on gloss coated text weight stocks (80# & 100#) all units pile ink on the blankets a to the point ink is missing on the "Trailing" edge of all solids. Even on just bold type the training edge builds up ink. After we...

So are you using windows 2000 tools then?

We upgraded our Macintosh operating system to ElCapitan (The latest version song with the latest InDesign (Cloud based) and now we can not see the PPD's for the DI. Heidelberg has been unable to figure it out as well. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

We are using 150-line

marc, I know cyan has been adjusted more recently but it's because of the nature of the forms we have been printing. This morning we had a job with 20% black only tint across the sheet and had to make adjustments to 3-zones on the black. We end up adjusting to the job most of the time because...

Ok, My operator gave me his list of when he made recent diode adjustments here it is: Cyan Unit: 01/05/14 #2 diode -2 01/06/14 #2 diode -2 01/08/14 #2 diode -5 01/08/14 #2 diode -5 (another) 01/08/14 #2 diode -3 01/24/14 #2 diode -2 01/24/14 #15 diode -2 01/24/14...

We will work on that. If there was air in the system would it only affect the black unit? Wouldn't we see fluctuations in the other 3-units as well

We replaced the entire Laser Unit. We had a local x-heidelberg mechanic do it as he had the gauges. We then spent countless hours setting the zone offsets and densities as we did not have that information from the parts press. After setting densities using the 60% screen it will look good for a...

We are having a little different laser issue. We had to replace our Black laser unit as our operator cracked the glass on the original one. (We have a "Plus"parts press that we steal from. We calibrated it with 60% screen but are constantly adjusting laser density on 3 to 4 lasers on this unit...
