LOL the 26LBS paper you talikng about hahha

[HachiZenki]

Man you really have to be careful when you get close to the core like that. We've been gettin' some Catalyst paper that gets really crappy near the core. And btw if your purchasing manager ever says they're getting cheaper paper from Abitibibowater and it's recycled from the Snowflake plant tell him/her to shove it coz that stuff sucks.

[jokesONu1984]

i agree.. ever since abitibi and bowater merge together we have been receive horrible paper. the pile up on the blankets from that paper is a site to see no matter what etch we use.

[HachiZenki]

Well they're now bankrupt because of the huge debt they took on to make the merger work. Plus the fact that they had to sell the Snowflake plant to Catalyst didn't help any because it was their second most profitable plant.

Yes--there's three rolls on this. Looks like a big KBA web (?) or Goss

[iankenner]

Am I mistaken, or does this rollstand hold 3 rolls at once? I have worked on Meg Tecs, Butlers, and Martins, but have never seen a 3 roll rollstand.

[edp53]

You are correct, each reelstand holds three rolls of newsprint. With press runs of 100,000 to 300,000 copies we do not have time to stop and hand paste incoming rolls.

This has always been my favorite part of the printing process.

The best way to break a sheet without getting caught is to.... nevermind

[edp53]

You have me laughing on the floor. With the thinner newsprint, web breaks occur.

[iankenner]

flip a penny into the rollstand? seen it happen. not that i would do that! haha.

@jmones1

When I was in my Apprenticeship I had a Pressman show me how to do just that. He never, ever got caught.
