On Press Issue: Mechanical Ghosting

Potential Causes

Less than optimal layout

Solution: When possible, lay out the job to minimize ink saturation.

Ink starvation

Solution: Increase the ink settings.

Ink film is too thin

Solution: Add extender to reduce the color strength to carry a thicker ink film.

Ink does not flow properly

Solution: Addition of a free flow varnish may help. However, caution is advised as the ink may become too weak or start to tint or scum.
