Sorry, I seem to only come here to ask for help.. been so busy here.  But, how do you get these suckers to comes off?  Plate suckers that is.  I called tech support at Fuji Film and they won't help me because we have a Lotem 800, even though we order plates from them.  Only thing he said is there maybe a ring where it attaches, but I don't see or feel any ring.  I got the bottom flat part to come off by ripping it off, but the rest is fused on there somehow. 

Can anyone tell me how they yank it off from your machine?

Sorry I don't have a Lotem so I can't answer your question but just wanted to say I didn't think it would be this topic when I opened it.

Right! I was at least hoping for a reach-around. :banana: 


Sorry, I don't currently operate a Lotem and I do not remember removing the suckers.

On the feeder for my Screen, however, you must remove the sucker bar and remove each floating sucker head to remove the sucker over the back. Meaning it is nested, while on the machine. I guess it is so the suckers don't pop off while they are suckin'. See if you can track down a service manual.

Hadn't read this thread, so when I clicked on it, it took me to the newest response at the bottom of the page, so I was reading it in reverse. Can't wait to find out what this is all about.  :lmao:
"There's been a lot of research recently on how hard it is to dislodge an impression once it's been implanted in someone's mind. (This is why political attack ads don't have to be true to be effective. The other side can point out their inaccuracies, but the voter's mind privileges the memory of the original accusation, which was juicier than any counterargument ever could be.)"
