To resolve a print inconsistency we are encountering, we created a full AR/AC box of 50/40/40 and ran it on the narrow web press.
This test was to see if the color varied or if the press could hold a grey balance.
We ran the test and the results were brought back to Graphics for review. I can see gear marking, but also a hue change in the AR from a soft yellow to a soft magenta. This coincides with a print issue were are fighting. But the press now said this issue are normal and printing the GrayScale over the whole area was a near impossible feat.
Our press guys are really good, so kudos for them giving this a try. My thoughts are though, how hard is it to print such an 50/40/40 box consistently around the cylinder as apposed to a process image consistently around a cylinder. IF you can't print one, you can print the other.
Am I missing something?
