Anyone printing Shrink Film on a Mark Andy P7 with water based ink.

[WI-Flexo]

As the title states, looking for anyone with experience printing shrink film on a MA-P7 with water based ink. We are having a problem with ink drying WAY to fast on the plate (Dupont DFM and DFR). We have tried two different ink systems with very similar results. Ink techs are at a loss but are thinking may be press related (residual heat, possibly airflow around cylinders, or some other unknown).

ANY insight greatly appreciated!!
Thanks.

Hi, We do all of our shrink printing on our P7 with UV-shrink inks. We don't even try with water based inks because of the drying issue. Is there a reason you can't print using UV inks?
