    Need some help from the offset press experts...

    hi there, i have read most of the posts and feel your frustration, you need feedback from your pressman. Most of the info to find out cause and effect lies within the color bars, there my closest friend and worst enemy. In the real world most directors dont give a shit if your mid tone is at...

    metering roller issues

    hi there, for ink to end up on the pan roller it has to travel over the chrome metering roller, for this to happen i believe the ink must be held in suspension in the water to do this, the only other way this could happen is if the chrome metering roller were to have run dry. I have seen this...

    improper stacking

    hi there, are you saying the sheets with heavy incoverage stack inconsistantly whilst sheets with less coverage stack ok? could be the localised paper curl caused by the cureing of the inks drying out certain areas and making the sheets un uniform? i assume this is when sheeting paul
