Removed the long winded comments due to misunderstanding the original posters question. Duh.

The reason is I sometimes have the sweep at 4% and the ink keys closed, and the density is still too high.


Thanks for giving a clearer explanation. Yup, it looks like the zero set problem.

I thought you were wanting to do something with the sweep but the new explanation clears it up for me.

Hope you get the advice.

The calibration or zero point is in the owners manual. I ran a komori with pqc for nine years 1991 to 2000. We never had an ink issue as long as the keys were zeroed properly. In fact the press only had to be recalibrated one time. We had an electric storm knocking out all power. When the power retuned unit 2 all the keys were at 35. We zeroed out unit 2 and never had to zero any well every again.
