Hi,
Summer is coming, that means a bit less work for us, and a good time to service our pre-owned risograph.
The counter on the machine says 500k copies, but when I check the usage count on the screen, it is closer to 4 million... I guess this is the right figure.
So far, the machine is running smoothly, although registration could be better. I also noticed that by default, the prints are not centered on the sheet (it varies with the different drums), but nothing we can't resolve using the positionning functions of the printer.
Registration is pretty crucial as I often use this riso for quadtone printing, and i'd like to tune it as good as possible!
I'm located in France and service is really expensive here as less and less companies are offering it, so I was thinking of servicing the machine myself.
I know there are a couple of very skilled technicians here, so i'd really appreciate if I could get some advice about what to look at first, what parts I should replace anyway, what parts to check for excessive wear, etc...
Also, in case anyone has a parts source in Europe, or even in the US, that could be really great!
thanks,
Benoit
