Hello,

I have not used my C&P Pilot, OS , in a while and i noticed that the rollers are only reaching the bottom 1/3 of the ink disc
I do not want to fiddle with anything until I receive some guidance/instructions on what to do.
Sending smoke signals… :/

Could you send a photo of the side of the press, or even better, a link to a video of the side of the press as it goes through a cycle? Also, it looks like the roller trucks are not lined up with the rails. It looks like the roller trucks should go in farther. There should be keyways (or partial keyways) in the trucks which go over the pinched up metal places on the roller cores (roller shafts). At least that is the way it should be if the same as my 8X12 was.

Hi Geoffrey,
Thank you for your reply. It may be the angle of the photo that the trucks don’t appear to be lined up wth the rails.
Here is a link to a video.

Also an image of the press.

It looks like the link that actuates the roller arms is on the opposite side of the press from where the video was taken. Is there a loose or missing key on that side, or a loose set screw? I don’t have that press so am running out of ideas.
