Troubleshooting Guide - Pressroom Coatings

Issue: Mottle in Coating

Potential Causes

Ridges in the direction of travel caused by too little coating

Solution: Increase amount of coating. Adjust blanket to back cylinder to achieve 'kiss contact.'

Coating is being 'pushed' into the ink

Solution: Reduce pressure to get uniform application.

Viscocity is too low and is 'soaking into job'

Solution: Specify higher viscocity coating.
