Re: Pallet problems
Are you using these on a manual or an auto? Reason I ask is, when I started using 30x30 pallets on my manual, I found every so often reg issues. I narrowed the issue down to loose pallet locks. I tighted up my cams so that the pallet rail was very very tight. Remember we index our manuals by hand so with that huge pallet, there is more leverage with everyhting you do. Also, depending where you bought those pallets from. if they didn't use enough adheasive from the pallet bottom to the mounting rail, the double sided tape most pallet companies use will softed with the heat of a flash. When that looses it only takes a hair of movement, of the pallet top to totally throw your image reg off. Also be careful if you are manually printing with these when you index, try not to grab the top corner of the pallet to push for index as that is what seems natrual. That added leverage may slightly move your pallet it the locking mechanism isn't 100 percent tight. Hope some of this helps. I've noticed every single aspect of doing larger than normal prints takes way more time, way more effort, make sure you are charging way more or it really isnt worth it.
