New to calibrating for UV inks

[pworlledge]

On an offset press is there a lot to calibrating for UV inks? I know it's quite a different animal than traditional inks on paper. But is there a lot of difference when you run say 2 different types of plastics? Just looking for some idea to make sure jobs can be put on the press and we can hit the colors right and not have to adjust color on a job to job basis. Way too busy for that!

Hi,

There will be a variation to dot gain not seen on paper. The dyne level of the stock will effect your dot gain as well as the other variables associated with offset printing.
