Default Micro Registration for Silver Press

Has anyone seen or used these on their silver series press? They appear to just have come on the market.

I will be ordering them as well and will post feedback. I've been trying to come up with a way to make them on my own and this system is actually very close to the designs I worked up. Saves me having to do the assembly and welding.

Was at the Ryonet training this weekend and talked to them about it. It is not a joy stick but a is x and y movement. Really cool but kinda pricey. Lisa

Default Re: Micro Registration for Silver Press

yes ...I think they are a bit pricey as well...but I think the time saved on fitting multicolored jobs will pay for itself in the long run.although I am getting better in the prepress department..getting the films to line up is getting easier and easier as time goes on..but I still want a set of those micros for my silver

Ya it seems a little pricey. But I was looking at buying a new press with micro and this saves me having to fork out the 1800 bucks. As long as they work well I won't be complaining. i will be ordering mine early this week so should have feedback by next weekend.

Yeah... I agree once you get good at the pre-press side of the business the need for micros doesn't seen as urgent.

Thumbs up Initial Results

I received my 4 micro's last night and installed them this morning.

It took a little work - I had to file the vertical slots on a couple of the plates where the micros attach - but it wasn't really that much work.

Once fitted and loaded with screens, I taped down a film positive to the platen and proceeded to try my luck at registering the screens to it. Oh, this was soooo much easier than my method of loosening the screen and tapping it around!

Once everything was properly tightened down it feels pretty sturdy - like it should hold registration well.
I didn't use any ink on this initial test because I don't have anything to print today, but I did jiggle the screens a little and spun the arms around so I could keep checking the registration to my film, and it looks like it's going to hold just fine.

One thing I found to make the registration a little easier was that after you have the screen generally in the right position, register one side, tighten it down a little with the top knob, then register the other side. By doing this, nothing seemed to move out of register when doing the final tightening.

Note: If this reply looks familiar, I just posted it in a different thread a minute ago.

Default Re: Micro Registration for Silver Press

could you possibly take pictures of the micro reg from the "head on" view without a screen in (as if you were standing at the platen looking at the screen arm). all of the pictures on ryonet don't show this angle and I really want to see how the "magic" happens with this micro reg.

Thanks!

Even though a picture is usually worth a thousand words, not so much in this case. The unit's working mechanisms are internal - they are enclosed in a very sturdy aluminum casing.
