The ink: keys should be routinely cleaned so they will properly set the ink blade.
Regularly clean the ink keys to ensure proper adjustment of the ink blade.
This durometer: must be maintained if the press is to print the expected quality.
To maintain the expected print quality, the durometer needs to be kept in check.
This poor: ink delivery will be evident with screens or halftones.
Screens or halftones will reveal poor ink delivery.
Rollers become: clogged with glaze and no longer accept and split the finer film of ink needed for
quality lithography.
Glaze buildup in the rollers hampers their ability to accept and distribute the required
fine ink film for high-quality lithography.
On close: inspection, these rollers will usually exhibit fine cracking or pitting on the surface.
Close examination of these rollers often shows surface cracking or pitting.
Glazed rollers: can also "bleed" old ink into lighter colours.
Glazed rollers can release old ink into lighter colors, causing bleeding.
In fact, modem: washup chemicals account for less than 3% of the cost of downtime for washup.
The cost of downtime for washup is primarily attributed to factors other than modern
washup chemicals.
Modem press: chemistry are laboratory designed and press proven to remove glaze and maintain rollers
in top print quality
Modern press chemistry is specifically designed and proven to remove glaze and keep
rollers in optimal printing condition.
Usually, blanket: problems can be traced back to that old pressroom villain -poor maintenance.
Poor maintenance is often the root cause of blanket problems in the pressroom.
The blanket: is called upon to receive all the chemical ingredients present in the lithographic process.
The blanket is responsible for receiving all the chemical components involved in the
lithographic process.
Add the minerals: chemicals and organics contained in tap water and the different coatings, alkalines,
bleaches and lint from the paper and we have all the makings of potential problems.
The combination of tap water minerals, chemicals, organics, coatings, alkalines,
bleaches, and paper lint can lead to potential problems.
As a cardinal: rule, ink should never be permitted to dry on a blanket.
Never allow ink to dry on the blanket.
Glaze: is a time and production thief.
Glaze negatively impacts time and production efficiency.
Blanket glaze: can be the "water soluble" type caused by gum, fountain solution, spray powders, paper
coatings etc; and the "solvent soluble" type resulting from ink pigments, driers, varnishes etc.
Blanket glaze can be either water-soluble (caused by gum, fountain solution, spray
powders, paper coatings) or solvent-soluble (resulting from ink pigments, driers, varnishes).
Creasing creates: a kind of "hinge" that facilitates a clean fold.
The act of creasing creates a "hinge" that aids in achieving a clean fold.
However, the spine: is not ground - if it was, the thread sewing would disappear. Instead, after the cover
is in place along the spine, the book is cropped along the three remaining sides.
However, the spine is not ground, as doing so would cause the thread sewing to
disappear. Instead, after placing the cover along the spine, the book is trimmed on the remaining three
sides.
Generally: a three-sided trimmer crops the printed product on the head, tail and fore edge.
Typically, a three-sided trimmer cuts the printed product on the top, bottom, and side edges.
Multiple pages: imposed on the same printing sheet are still attached to each other after they've been
folded, either at the head or the tail (this applies if you have right-angled folded sheets with eight or more
pages).
When multiple pages are folded together on the same printing sheet, they remain
connected at either the top or bottom edge (this applies to right-angled folded sheets with eight or more
pages).
Unlike lamination: it does not provide noticeable protection against dirt and wear and tear, and is
primarily an aesthetic procedure.
Unlike lamination, folding does not offer significant protection against dirt, wear, and
tear. It is primarily performed for aesthetic purposes.
Within North America: the hole spacing standards are 2 ¾ " cc for 2-hole and 4 ¼ “ cc for 3-hole
punching ("cc" stands for center-to-center, and means that the holes are spaced from the center of the hole
regardless of its size);
In North America, the standard hole spacing for 2-hole punching is 2 ¾ " center-
to-center (cc), while for 3-hole punching, it is 4 ¼ " cc.
