Hi All
We are currently printing 55 x 90 cards 110up on a B1 Sheets, then rotary diecut. The issue is all the cards have Terms and conditions on the reverse (text close to the trim), the customer has found cards towards the Tail edge of the sheet, the T&C's are too close to the trim compared to the cards to the middle / grip edge.
Initially I thought the dispro on the forme was incorrect, but after outputting a CAD drawing and overlaying the Sheet, I found from the start of the sheet to the tail edge the print had actually started to shrink gradually final ending about 1mm on the Tail end row of cards.
Ive check all measurements on the CAD drawing and its spot on (692mm tick to tick), the plates are fine (692,, tick to tick), but the print is 691mm.
How can this be, ive heard of paper stretch, but Paper shrinkage !!
Spec:
UV inks, sheetwork, 400gsm B1 stock 4col both sides - Heidelberg CD102 5 / 1
Any help would be great
Regards
Dan
