Lock out the press and send someone from bindery to go in/under to get out the paper. Then yes get new followers.

Paper is always dirty and when it comes to board stock forget about it, you're gonna get hickies and what not. You can do what you're saying or reduce your ink and get probably better results. Two tricks you can try, one already mentioned above, or just laying a thin film of transparent white on...

yeah a dream

I work at a shop that thinks you don't need any make ready. Had a two 4 over 4 jobs for 1250 finished pieces on 14 point board. I was given exactly 2500 sheets. 1250 for one and 1250 for the other. Thanks a lot shop...

They should get greener chemicals in that plant.

The yellow would skin around the edges in the fountain and be dry on the ball/fountain roller. You definitely didn't want to put it back in the can.

I had the same issue and yep the yellow was the worst followed by the cyan. I had an ink rep on the phone that told me the same thing. He wanted me to buy a special transparent white to mix in so the ink wasn't so short. I called bullshit and I told him I shouldn't have to add anything. We just...

When you say 100# not matte and not gloss then I assume you put varnish on offset stock. You'll never get the effect your looking for on offset stock. The only thing the varnish is doing is soaking into the paper. Generally you varnish on a coated stock so it sits on the surface and makes...

Quality wise it's going to be the same. Board stock is generally used for display anyway, at least where I come from. To print quality work on .14 to .24 board you need a decent machine and by that I mean a Heidelberg CD. That doesn't mean you can't force it through another machine. Put...

I'm not so sure about sizing using a varnish. In fact I've never heard of over printing on varnish. You risk reactivation, set off, and quite possibly a job that doesn't dry. Transparent white, maybe, but both of them begin to dry yellow fairly quick destroying the pms overlay quality on the...

pacart, how did this job turn out? What process did you finally go with?

Some one might have another suggestion but yeah I'm saying throwing in another pass using a PMS. I understand the dilemma and cost efficiency of doing that but board stock doesn't necessarily have the greatest quality as far as smooth finishes go for stock. Might have to dust the paper through...

On that stock I'd lose that screen altogether and print it as a solid gray. I wouldn't even bother pulling my hair out trying to lay a clean screen on that stock.

Probably about seventeen dollars.
