"The color of the paper is shining through. Is there transparent white ink in the formula? You should probably use Van Son Tough Tex, it can be purchased at http://www.bsink.com/ "

"It looks like too much ink is the problem; I use very little (we use rubber base also), with very soft packing so the plate really sinks in. The back of the sheet bruises because of the soft packing, but this is the best way I've found to avoid…"

Printing on Stardream HELP

I am trying to print on Stardream Dual and having a heck of a time with it. At first I thought it was because I was using rubber based ink, and thought the trouble was due to the fact that the paper must be coated and therefore the ink was unable to absorb. But now I am having the same result with oil based ink. The ink looks as though its floating on the surface and I am not getting even coverage.

Folding Paper

I know there is an extensive forum discussion about folding Lettra, but I was wondering if anyone has had success folding another cotton paper, like Reich Savoy for example?I have a client who wants to score their business card on both sides so that it will fold in a zig sag like shape to stand up on a desk. Any paper recommendations?Thanks!AdinaSee More

"Thank you Camille, after doing a bit of research and following your pricing guideline I decided it would just be too expensive to ship this press so I am going to keep looking for something more local to me. This one was a 12x18 C&P. I am going…"

"Hi Bunny, There should be plenty of riggers near you. What press are you moving? Can you lag bolt it to solid 4x4? Can you bolt it to a heavy duty skid? If so, you could build a crate around it, making sure to brace it good. Remove as many parts as…"

"I can't suggest any west coast movers, but my advice is GET IT INSURED! Heard about a press that was destroyed in shipping by an incompetent "rigger." "
