I have found that I sometimes need to adjust my rollers depending on how much text I am printing. If it is very little text I make sure that my rollers just kiss the plate ad they roll across.

Even if you made adjustments that seemed correct previously, I've found that it's easy to miss something and that another "final" adjustment is needed once printing actually begins.<br /><br />I don't mean that these things need to be adjusted every run. But on both my original 8x12 and my current 10x15, after I had restored them I set them up, adjusting the platens and rollers. But in each case, once I began printing I found I needed to make slight adjustment to bring everything to a final place. This is probably because, with a brand new press, using the standard adjustment methods would likely be enough. But on old presses there is wear, and the consequences of that wear may not show up until doing an actual print run. The additional adjustments were minor, some very tiny tweaking of the platen bolts and removing a couple layers of tape from the rails.<br /><br />So if you have never adjusted the platens or rollers using one of the standard methods, I'd do that first, i.e. go back to square One. If you have done that, then go back now and double check those adjustments. One thing to remember is that measurements using gauges are OK, but it's the end result that counts. For example, you may get a proper length "stripe" on a roller gauge, but on your press that may not work and will only provide a starting point for a final adjustment.<br /><br />When I was adjusting the roller height on my 10x15 I found that a gauge was helpful as a starting point but that afterwards I still had to use some trial and error, removing strips of tape from the rails one at a time, until I got to a point where I was getting good inking. And don't forget that a larger form will print differently than a smaller one because of the difference in impressional strength over the surface of the platen. I used a midsized form as a test during "tweaking" in order to fall somewhere in the middle and allow the most latitude.<br /><br />Another thing to remember is that makeready is not a substitute for having the press set up correctly. It serves more of a purpose compensating for worn type or warped wooden bases on cuts, or plates that are not 100% accurate, etc. But good, effective makeready requires a good foundation to start with and that foundation it a properly adjusted platen and rollers. This can take a while and be tedius, but will pay for itself since you will be able to troubleshoot the inevitable problems more quickly and effectively.<br /><br />I won't say anything about the specific issues you had because I don't know whether you need to revisit your basic setup. I think It's Fancy was referring to the fill-in on the print of the flower. That would seem to indicate the rollers are set too low. But again, there are other issues you're having and I'd check your basic settings, which would include roller height, first.<br /><br />BTW: Don't forget about underlays in terms of makeready. You can drop a sheet of paper or two behind the chase to raise the form a bit for increased roller contact or impression if necessary. <br /><br />Rich<br /><br />Front Room Press<br />Milford, NJ<br />http://frontroompress.com<br />http://frontroompress.blogspot.comRich Polinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16668886954675397098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917452577422498793.post-30579416952260115842009-07-10T11:45:09.586-05:002009-07-10T11:45:09.586-05:00hi "it's fancy" - thanks for the com...hi "it's fancy" - thanks for the comment! which problem are you referring to, and what do you mean by "not set correctly"?Nina (Tweedle Press)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09404937728517880979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917452577422498793.post-40629125477303617472009-07-10T11:40:11.163-05:002009-07-10T11:40:11.163-05:00your rollers are not set correctly!your rollers are not set correctly!It's Fancy Letterpress Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14058486774357073236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917452577422498793.post-39574540122975797652009-04-28T10:35:00.000-05:002009-04-28T10:35:00.000-05:00Super smart girl!

I'm glad the impression problem has been sorted out. Keep an eye on different prints for a while for uneven impression. Even though it was not the cause of the problem in this case it's not unusual that they need adjustment. If it is out a little, correcting it can save a lot of makeready time.<BR/><BR/>Make sure the the shafts on which the throw off mechanism castings are attached are clean and oiled where they go through the sides of the press.<BR/><BR/>The prints look great.<BR/><BR/>RichRich Polinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16668886954675397098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917452577422498793.post-32812451417089971112009-04-05T10:04:00.000-05:002009-04-05T10:04:00.000-05:00have you tried gans soy based inks and nature wash...have you tried gans soy based inks and nature wash?Eva / Sycamore Street Presshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473612753403446630noreply@blogger.com
