Roller ID Help
Anyone know what kind of roller this is for? http://katranpress.com/roller.jpg Some sort of older Vandercook. The face of the roller measures 14.875 inches wide. The cores are 20 inches wide. Many thanks.
MoreDid RotaDyne REQUIRE you to fill out a W9 and Credit Application?
We needed rollers on our Vandercook recovered and RotaDyne was kind enough to send a representative to check out the rollers, and take them with him to recover. However, shortly after, I got an email from RotaDyne with a Credit Application and W9 to fill out. Since the business is a sole proprietorship, I didn’t […]

MoreVandercook 320G issues
I’m in the thick of trying to get my Vandercook 320G up and running. This is different than other Vandercooks I’ve printed on for various reasons (it’s completely manual, the metal and rubber rollers are behind the cylinder, etc). I’ve encountered a couple of things so far that I’d love advice with if you have […]
MoreIs there an SP-15 specific full moon?
We have a new (to us) SP-15, no manual, sadly. The front rubber roller adjustment knobs very suddenly stopped moving. At all. If it were one side or the other, that would be one thing, but they are both immobile, and they had been turning fine earlier in the day. I removed the roller, and […]

I’m getting the rollers for my Universal I recovered and noticed when I was making a case for them, that one roller has got straight edges, the other slightly tapered edges. Is there any particular reason?
MoreRollers Universal I
The rollers on my recently acquired press are in a bad state and I will have to get them re-covered. Any indication as to what kind of hardness of rubber I will have to ask for? Soft, hard, medium? Any advice is welcome.
MoreVandy 3 – Inking Roller Question
Our inking roller on our Vandy 3 is a bit worn, so we’re wondering if we should get it replaced before we print an initial run. We tried it out before purchasing the press, just to test it out, and it seemed to distribute the ink pretty well since it is still quite soft. That […]
MoreSP-20 roller bearer
I seem to be having an issue with one of the bearers (is that even the right term?) on the rear form roller on my SP-20. I can’t lower the roller height to type-high on that side. I can on the user side, but not on the opposite end. No problem with the front roller. […]
MoreSP20 Form Roller Screws
I’m attempting to remove the hardware from my SP20 roller cores to ship them off to be recast. I’ve removed the tiny set screw from inside the larger, outer, screw on the end of the roller, but now I can’t seem to remove the larger, outer screw. I don’t want to turn it too hard […]
