printing press cylinder repair by John Sutter

Cylinders with Bent Journals

Damage: Low area across sheet from bent journals or low areas caused by smashes, etc.
Example: "My press had too many sheets run into it and brought it to a screeching halt.  It took a lot of effort to get them out.  Now the journals (which are the cylinder's axles) are bent and it won't print evenly.  An empty space appears across the center of the sheet."
In Press Solution: Straighten bent journals in press.  Many of our customers are surprised to learn that we can repair bent journals without removing them from the press.  The ability to perform this service sets us apart from other repair contractors.
