Do these web signatures look good to you?
April 10, 2008

 

Question: The quality of our web signatures didn't look good. We had the press manufacturer in to reset all bearer pressures. We think the press is now printing much better. What do you think (sample signatures enclosed)? 

Answer: These samples show an unusual 'across' the cylinder double dot that is inconsistent from signature to signature. This press is not printing as good as it can, probably because the web guide is not working properly. The net result is uncontrolable color variation. Keep in mind that a double never goes away but only gets worse.

The lesson to be learned is that every time major work is done on a press, a full press test should be done prior to the repair and then again after the repair. In this case, there was a large invoice and work still needs to be done.
