Phenomenon: A faint color appears on the entire or part of the layout, and after confirming that the printing plate is not damaged, it will immediately reappear after wiping the layout clean.
Reason:
1. The ink body is too soft, and when the printing temperature is too high, it is easy to emulsify
2. Excessive addition of ink conditioner and viscosity reducer results in ink being too thin.
3. Pigments have strong hydrophilicity, and water-soluble pigments and dyes are used for offset printing.
4. Ink has poor water resistance, and during emulsification, the connecting material and pigment are easily separated, causing the pigment to enter the aqueous phase.
5. Excessive pressure between the ink collecting roller and the ink distributing roller causes separation of ink and water, resulting in floating dirt.
6. The surface of the ink roller has hardened, and the scraping effect of ink scattered in non graphic parts is not good.
7. The impact force of the water roller on the layout is too strong, and due to the existence of bite gaps, it causes jumping and the bite area is prone to getting dirty. Increasing the water volume may improve, but it may cause floating dirt.
8. Ink on water roller
9. Excessive water lifting of the dampening solution and excessive emulsification of the ink
10. The pH setting of the dampening solution may result in poor acid and alkali resistance of some pigments, making them easily dissolved by the dampening solution.
11. Surfactants and salts in paper dissolve into the dampening solution, disrupting the hydrophilicity of CTP plates.
