Ink takes on too little or too much press mix during emulsification.
| CAUSE | CURE |
|---|---|
| Poor ink/water balance | Re-balance ink/water. See Ink/Water balance |
| Poor compatibility between ink and fountain solution (Ink is too soft or tacky to allow a controlled emulsification process. Fountain solution is too aggressive to the ink breaking it down too quickly.) | Consult with both your ink and fountain solution manufacturer for better matched ink and fountain solution. |
