    Okay guys I'm really a press operator since 1980 but I've been running a folder for 20 some years and lately it's been giving me issues on the right angle I have a small video of what it's doing looks like it's bouncing but what can I do to my setup to fix the problem I may not have it set up right.

    Try to use as little pressing balls as possible at the position the signature comes out -try with 3 plastic or 2 plastic and steel-

    Thanks mantman, I pulled all but 2 plastic where it is coming out and it seems to be working. It would run as many as a few hundred and it would bounce back and jam and then sometimes every 15 or 20, I just ran a couple hundred and it seems to have fixed it, I hope cause I don't have any hair left!

    There should be a smoother to ensure that sheet land in the ball, also check if you have accumulated powder at rollers
