    "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

    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...

    Glow in the Dark inks

    https://www.ctiinks.com/ Chromatic Technologies would be the approriate source. Most ink companies won’t really sell it as the demand just isn’t as popular as it once was. It’s all about volume that you can put on the sheet - the more hits, the better (anticipate 3 hits). Some companies when...

    Blanket Punch Patterns

    Looks like you’re a blanket converter / supplier. I’m sure you can always buy a blanket from another converter and make your own. Aren’t most Sakurai blankets barred?

    TRUEFLOW V3

    I could be wrong but TrueFlow is no longer supported. I think many of the customers that once had this workflow have since transitioned to either Equious, XMF, or some other supported front ends. Good luck.

    Consistent colour

    Thats a very broad and subjective question Sir. What is your process method to ensure that color is where you feel is right? Are you using a scanning device or hand held to measure color? Can you give us a little more information about your shop (equipment, print application, color...

    Low Dot Gain. Again

    How about roller settings - Ink Form Stripes, Water Form Stripe? Is your oscillation time the same? Or do you even run with your oscillation rollers on? If everything is identical regarding the consumables you use and it’s isolated to 1 machine, compare settings and operator methods.

    Low Dot Gain. Again

    This specifically would be a good time to implement some G7 curves, specific to each press. This way, you eliminate the investigative work and can produce a predictable piece, regardless of the press.

    Ink building up on coater blanket

    Few questions - Is this happening with all coatings (gloss, satin, and matte) or just one in compared to another? Have you checked the stripe thickness and verified that you're not overpacked? If you needed a quick fix, clean the blanket the best you can with either coating cleaner or...

    bump curve

    Quoted - instead of a dotgain, i get dotloss of -4 to -6 on almost all units running cmyk. For starters, measure the dot on the plate to verify where your starting point is. Is really doesn’t matter whether you start linear or not as your cutback curves are going to be calculated on L*a*b*...

    Grit in roller train

    Based on your pictures, the inks are curing on the fount ball. As they are curing on the ball roller, then are collecting debris (cured ink) and creating uneven pressure between the liner, ink keys, and last fount ball. Get the overhead sleeves and get a thicker ink fount liner (.12 or .14mil)...
