    Default dots breaking up

    I'm looking in our 25x zoom loop and I can see the dot breaking up slightly.

    what should be my process to look at first?

    ·check plates
    ·changed packing
    ·dump water tank and refilled
    ·changed to a different brand ink

    That's what I've done already. Can over packing cause the dots to break up.
    I don't have a zoom with a camera.



    thanks

    Plate wearing out(caused by overpacking)
    blanket not printing in the low areas of the stock.
    insufficient plate/blanket squeeze.
    buildup on blankets.
    worn out blankets.
    running too much water (check roller/dampening stripes)
    Are they breaking up in the same place on the sheet, same unit?
    Check some cylinder temps also if possible I have seen overheated equipment do some funky things with dots.
