    De-foaming agent

    The foaming issues can also be caused by residual solvent being flushed back into your water after washing up. Talk to your fountain solution supplier as they all will carry an Anti-Foam that can be added to the water.

    Yellow ink contamination?

    Correct, it’s set up very much like a flexo press with an anilox roller. You can still control density based on temperature. That density .90 is actually really low for a gloss coated sheet. That very well maybe the difference in between the devices and the filters on it (Status T, etc.) or...

    Yellow ink contamination?

    Coincidently, I have a shop that has no clue about press color calibration but expects me (the ink company) to fix their yellow contamination issue. When running really low densities of the Yellow (Average .90 - .92) on a coated sheet, obviously standard ink film is compromised. It will pick up...

    "Miracle" solution to toning and emulsification

    Body, tack, and vehicle will fix that. That's why the little guys loved that binding varnish, even though it would weaken the strength. Once upon a time, the duplicator presses ran either Rubber Based or Polyacrylic Inks. Both inks had a tack if 22-25 and a very heavy body.

    Low Dot Gain. Again

    How about shut the press down and distribute the work to the other three presses until you can get a authorized Roland mechanic in there to figure it out? No one seems to satisfy your inquiry and I’m not sure you’ll ever find the desired responses you seek. I wish you great success in your...

    UV varnish adhesion on hot foil

    There’s a lot of reasons why you had job failure. -It cold be the dyne level of the foil applied. If it was too low, the adhesion of the UV coating may be been compromised. -Over exposure of the UV Coating? That would make it brittle and easy to scratch. -Not a flexible UV Coating was used...

    cmyk print sequence

    US and Japanese ink manufactures typically tack rate the ink K C M Y. Euro inks are generally Mono/Uni-Tack. They have the same ink tack for every color. That said, as long as you maintain C M Y in sequence, you’ll maintain proper traps. Black will only get darker or dirtier by the...
