Yes, pressman or feeder we work together on changeovers and wash ups. Unskilled throw paper. Hardly anything intricate putting ink to paper. Water chemistry, roller settings, trap, registration, densities. Sure, some jobs can present some challenges here and there. It’s not rocket science. Quality control and troubleshooting. Printing isn’t what it used to be. No more using alcohol to make the water wetter.
Antonio, great video. Reach out to us sometime. We'd love to give you a few of our disposable fountain liners to try. As easy as you make it look we'd be able to help you finish quicker!
I enjoy these videos you’ve uploaded. I’d love to see more if and when you’d have the time or be allowed by the plant to shoot more. Is that conventional or UV ink? Also do y’all always save inks to reuse them? My pressman almost never likes for me to save ink because trash (paper dust) always gets in the fountain and can cause the keys to lock up. About the only time we do is if it’s a pms color that we know we’ll be using and might end being short on or if the other press is about to run that same color. Maybe matte varnish too. Love how big that ball is. I can tell it’s definitely easier to clean than a smaller one. Don’t have to lift up the gate for more room.
Thank you. We save inks generally but not always. 80# cis usually pretty clean. We do UV and conventional ink. Our 81inch press does regular uv and the KBA 164 does led UV. All our presses are 6color plus coating. I’ll do a wash up on our KBA 205 that ball is massive compared to this one.
Not sure how I stumbled upon this video but...may I ask you why are you washing up a magenta? Was it contaminated, or are you changing color rotation, getting ready for a shut down, or is it a spot color that is just resembles magenta? I know this is an old video but I'm curious now; typically I wouldn't wash up a process color.
That is an ink sentinel. Automatically dispenses ink into the fountain. Keeps it at a set level. It also keeps track of how much ink is used per job based on the specific gravity of the inks. It's called Sentinel Pro Ink Management System.
You prolly dont give a damn but does any of you know a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me
@Jeremias Abel i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
DIY Misfit "Mechanic" I use 2 different solvents 1st one is like a naptha or kerosene type. Then dry rag. Second is acetone. Have to be careful not to use acetone on seals and such.
I just started a job a few weeks ago for 10 an hour. I set up the paper depending on the job and fill the inks manually. I work on an UV printer from Butler that was made in the 80s new to the company. I want to know if 10 bucks an hour is average for the job. There's obviously more the job entails.
But knowledge is worth a lot and if you can gain a lot of it where you are at might be worth it for the time being. I started at 10$/hr...im doing pretty darn good now. Im union not sure if that matters. Wish you the best of luck. Take care ...thank you for watching. If there is anything you would like to know i will be happy to help. Or make a video.
@@AntonioBoosta This is in Houston, TX and no union work down here really. I used to be a technician for cars, so this work is quite different. However, maintenance is similar. I work for a private entity.

Kostantin Georgiev We use autowash 6000. The automatic blanket washing system uses disolin pel. Not sure way the company uses autowash vs kba conventional, probably a price thing. I know the chemicals had to be approved by kba for warranty purposes. Thank you for your comment.
I'm not sure if they do or not. For the types of jobs and quantities with no need for variable artwork, conventional sheetfed printing works well. This press can run up to 17,000 sheets per hour. Although it is not nearly as fast as a web. It is much faster than digital.
I don't think you are doing a good job if you are constantly drying the clean ductor with the rag from the very volatile solution as a thinner... Rather, you should choose the path of something half oily and half dry, but not clean, wipe the ductor and dry with force... ....the surface of the duct is degraded when you use such aggressive preparations there
The ductor is washed with the press wash automatically. The fountain ball is washed by hand. It can be integrated but we don’t do that. I don’t use acetone anymore. However when I did it was just to dry up the roller solution. As you said it is more “oily”. Not to clean any more ink or such off the surfaces.

Thank you for this first hand account of what you do...🙂👍
Great video keep up the great work
That's pretty cool. Great video thanks brother keep up the great work see you in the next video thanks
Loved watching this great upload
+ABANDONED WITH TJ Thank you
Lots of detail looks like bud, cool deal!
Great video
That looks awesome 😃
Absolutely not.
You made that look easy and not a drop spilt. Nice job ready for next colour I presume. 👍🍻
Yep my boss would be moaning the face off me if I took that long 😮
man you made that look easy
Congrats on 1k
ZoCustom250 Thank you my friend.
A common job for beginners, unskilled in the intricacies of the printer's work.

Hey man nice video, I'm at quad graphics, new to the press room this has helped me see what I'll be learning.
Cool.I Know of quad, they have a huge plant here in Wisconsin
Antonio Boosta we have a few huge plants in Wisconsin I'm at the second largest.
I work in Grafton at Philipp Lithographing,a rather small company.

I think this was was the end of day wash.
You make it look so easy but this is A WORKOUT
You are right because there is usually multiple fountains to do plus other chores.
A guy could literally clean 3 Heidelberg fountains in the time it takes to do 1 kba fountain.
100% Agree.
Thanks, your nice channel and videos
We continue to support each other
❤ good
That ink is some thick stuff
Cleanest fountain I’ve ever seen(before you began). Is that an automatic leveller at the start of the video that’s keeping the ink that low?
That is an ink sentinel. Automatically dispenses ink into the fountain. Keeps it at a set level. It also keeps track of how much ink is used per job based on the specific gravity of the inks. It's called Sentinel Pro Ink Management System.

What solvent you using to clean? Looks like fast evaporating acetone or something. Ooh I know, brake clean LOL
DIY Misfit "Mechanic" I use 2 different solvents 1st one is like a naptha or kerosene type. Then dry rag. Second is acetone. Have to be careful not to use acetone on seals and such.
yeah that acetone can do some damage
Antonio Boosta be careful with acetone. If you need, we have many solutions for cleaning, for UV and conventional paints and coatings.
Yes it can. We use Prisco Autowash 6000
i used to work @ RR Donnelley Pontiac Illinois
Debbie Lynn Tv That's great. So this is nothing new to you.
I just started a job a few weeks ago for 10 an hour. I set up the paper depending on the job and fill the inks manually.

I would say 13 to 18 for Feeder operator. Depending on experience and knowledge.
We have a KBA Rapida 205 that we run both UV and conventional. 10 dollars seems low. Our lowest paid position is 15.50 for general worker.

@@AntonioBoosta Also what would be a good press to run casino jobs?
個人覺得kba的墨斗設計太斜不好用，且主墨滾太大支，色座間隔太小，跟小森雷同，體型稍胖的人，會很擠
from 13 years i'm working like that . thats my job and im using kba 105
We just had a KBA 164 installed 6color plus coating unit. Conventional and UV. It also has built in lights in each unit on the blankets and plates.
@@AntonioBoosta just good . its my first time i see kba 164 , but we have kba 142 i work in it for very few months .
Nice video bro. Thank u .just one thing I if u set the ink roller to zero posición your gonna have a lot less ink on it .thank u 4 your videos
It was zero set. But that’s a good thing to mention.
洗墨斗時間太久，換是海德堡早洗好了
Hello ant. What are you printing my friend.
Pappy Pinel Box labels in this case, sometimes point of purchase displays. I try not to show cause the image belongs to the customer. And they may not want it shown.
Can the fabric be used again?
Are you referring to the rag used with the solvent? We use a service to wash our soiled rags/towels and uniforms. Thanks for watching.
why dont you use KBA conventional wash
Kostantin Georgiev We use autowash 6000. The automatic blanket washing system uses disolin pel. Not sure way the company uses autowash vs kba conventional, probably a price thing. I know the chemicals had to be approved by kba for warranty purposes. Thank you for your comment.
what fabric do you use? Please respon
We use just regular shop rags, maybe cotton? I’ll see if I can find out.
@@AntonioBoosta Can the fabric be used again?
Yes we reuse our rags. We have a service that washes our rags.
Hi Antonio! What is the rag made of? Is this cotton or something else?
I believe these rags are made of cotton.
looks like strawberry jam lol
Magenta bro delicious
I though KBA would use digital inker ? This is so far behind the technology ! No digital page packs?
I'm not sure if they do or not. For the types of jobs and quantities with no need for variable artwork, conventional sheetfed printing works well. This press can run up to 17,000 sheets per hour. Although it is not nearly as fast as a web. It is much faster than digital.
Antonio Boosta , this one is sheetfed?
Yes sir. This is a Rapida 145 6 color plus coating. aka The 57 inch press as its known in the shop.
Antonio Boosta , no wonder they use fountain ! Don’t see KBA sheetfed very often !

@@AntonioBoostanot sure he knows what a ductor roller is...
@@jimbrown4456 Right. However he is right to not use acetone on the press. A mostly dry rag with a little roller wash will work well as a final wipe.
That smell!!
Yeah! That smell pretty well. I do it every day. 😊
