6 Proven Ways to Achieve a Perfect Print Result and Avoid Complaints

We all hate customer complaints, especially regarding print results. 

One essential characteristic of a perfect print result is the smooth ink laydown on the substrate. 

However, everyone in the gravure packaging industry faces issues with this now and then, don’t we? 

I tried to dissect 6 of the most common issues that we faced with our customers over the years and potential solutions that worked.

1. Ink doesn't spread right - Correct the blade angle and adjust the solvent.

2. Ink is too thin - Add fresh ink and increase viscosity.

3. Unsuitable pigment - Consult an ink supplier.

4. Low press speed - Increase speed.

5. Too deep engraving - Consult an engraver.

6. High impression roller pressure - Reduce pressure.
