    Dear friends,we have pm 74-4 col machine.we have big issue , steak mark on the print. I think some marks generate from dampening unit & some marks generate from inking unit or pressure section. Streak mark on 208 mm from front side of paper.Total counter 177140648,impression counter 137504874, date 06 12 2006.
    have you any ideas about this, Thank you.

    does this streak occur on all jobs or this particular job? If it happens on all jobs id try to determine cause through process of elimination. After eliminating all the obvious stuff like proper plate to blanket pressure, proper impression cylinder pressure, proper roller settings, both to the plate and to the vibrator rollers, id try lifting the form rollers off the plate one at a time to see if there is roller thats causing the problem. If all is good with rollers and everything else mentioned Id be looking for the possibility of a gear streak.

    This is a common problem with HEI CD & SM74 from the last decade. I have 5 clients with similar problems with no resolution.
