50 pound offset paper shrinkage

Foster

Member
We are running a 50 pound offset paper job with a ton of crossovers. The job is a heavy coverage job to. When we go to back the job up, paper has shrunk almost a 1/8 of an inch. Ive seen it before, but have been able to slip the difference and get a way with it. But, not on this job. Just wondering, maybe some of the tricks or tips someone might have to help. We are running Komori LS640. Thanks.
 
Hello Foster, you might try reducing the water feed and shutting off the dryer. also the grain direction of the stock will have an effect.
 
Thanks, we did end up shuting dryer off and reducing water feed. Had alot better luck. Look alot better.
