Print contrast is a hot topic with my boss. He describes it as a measure of the difference between a solid and 75% screen. I've also been told it's the best way to tell if my press is balanced and that good print contrast will add POP! to an image that would otherwise look flat. From what I've experienced with this ink set and chemistry, maintaining good dot gain and print contrast is dicey. I routinely see big swings from makeready to end of job. 50s and 75s gain significantly from throughout run, but this seems to be inherent in UV ink.
Any of the printing wizards on this forum care to school a young operator? What can I expect in terms of print contrast stability with a full UV ink set?
Thanks.
