    title suppose to say itek 3985 sorry. We just stated printing we print tracts for a church once we can run it. We had a poly plate on and was printing however we get ink all over the blanket that we cannot keep off it get on the impression cylinder also and marks the back of the paper somewhere with little lines so we cannot print on back side. We are running as little ink as possible to make it come out ok. When we change a plate ink gets all over the plate even when we keep it tight we have the operating handle all the way up seperating rollers etc and on the non op side. After we put on a plate we clean the blanket and impression cylinder but when we start it the blanket, plat and impression cylinders are getting inked we have crestlines we put handle down once applying water we clean up the plate but blanket now has ink all over it why are we having this mess? We are using first head only one color ink get on the second head blanket even???:confused:
