Yep, although I got my start many years ago in offset on Goss web press and then on to a Harris 25X38" 2 color Harris sheet fed, I split from the industry completely for about 15yrs years before winding up workin on a 2 color 102" Langston flexo press at a box company. Then went from there to workin mainly on converting letterpresses to die cutters and foil stampers and doin service and installation work on those as well as different pieces of finishing equipment.

What many people outside the industry have little idea of is just how MANY different areas there are within the printing world and that each area is pretty specialized.

BTW, most Americans call 'em ink fountains and water systems or fountains. I believe the Heidelberg manuals refer to fountains as ducts and of course that explains why the roller winds up being called a ductor roller grinning smiley

I don't really often get around much offset equipment these days although I was in a shop just last week where they had just installed a new Heidelberg CD 102 6 or 8 color with a coater unit. The operator told me they were unable to use the last unit or the coater unit because the tech had installed them 1 tooth outta time with the rest of the machine ! Hard to believe a factory tech can make such an error. I sure couln't make a livin doin stuff like that eye popping smiley
