Flexo Inks 201: Troubleshooting Common Ink Issues
When there is a problem on press, where do you begin your troubleshooting efforts? Prepress, plate making, plate mounting, your press assistant—or the ink lab?
Join Ed as he demonstrates how to diagnose a variety of common pressroom print problems. He will investigate complications that are caused by an ink problem and those which are really caused by other components of the print job. It’s not always the ink’s fault!
A more extensive presentation on troubleshooting common ink issues will take place during FORUM 2022 in the “It’s Always the Ink’s Fault” session at 8:30 a.m. on March 16, featuring leading industry experts.
