You can buy them direct from Bunting Magnetics, but I ordered mine from Fritz at NA Graphics because I like to help out small businesses. I’m pretty sure the base ships direct from Bunting. The size I use is 6″ x 9″. It works for almost all my needs.

My vote is for a magnetic base with steel back plates. Good luck!

Funny, just ran a job and experienced some paper warp! Nothing major, but it was still there. It happened on the first color, but not really the other three. I was using Lanaquarelle 140# on my Windmill. This has never happened with the other stocks that I frequently use, like Reich’s Savoy, Lettra, Mohawk Superfine on the Windmill or my Vandercook.There are probably a bunch of variables like stock, packing, image size, etc.Sorry I can’t be more helpful!

Hi Katrina,If you have a Heidelberg, use Mobil DTE Extra Heavy. It used to be called Mobil Vactra and is the one recommended in the manual.Good Luck!Carrie

Hi Kathryn,If you are in the LA area, I recommend LA Grinding in Burbank. If not, I would inquire at a local (offset) printshop to see where they purchase their blades and get them sharpened.Good Luck!Carrie

Hi Marijke,This week I’ll be trying a little duplexing experiment with Neenah Classic Columns paper; I’ll let you know how it goes. 🙂

Thanks, Allison! That is awesome information- I figured that I had probably used the incorrect verbiage; maybe my google searches will prove more fruitful! I am in Pasadena, California.

Thanks~ Unfortunately, I’m looking to have some Mohawk paper duplexed. Mohawk would probably do it, but I’d probably have to order an enormous amount (at least for me anyway!) 😉

Hi Rachael,I was having the same problem with the form rollers changing height down the length of the bed. The guy that came out here to fix the problem found that the bearing height was to blame and that they needed to be adjusted. If you have the manual they are parts x-12229 and x-12232. The eccentrics on the outside are what he adjusted. It seemed to be pretty complicated so I would recommend someone coming out to you if you’ve a press mechanic in the area. Unfortunately for me, once he fixed this problem, they form rollers are now changing height between print and trip. It’s inconvenient but I’ve learned to work with it.Hope this is helpful.Carrie

Great info! Thanks for posting this!
