Common Issues in Post-Press Processing

1. Ink smearing: This can occur when the ink is not dry enough before the paper is folded or trimmed. It can also be caused by using too much ink or by using a paper that is not compatible with the ink.
2. Paper tearing: This can occur when the paper is not folded or trimmed properly. It can also be caused by using a paper that is too thin or weak.
3. Creasing: This can occur when the paper is folded or trimmed too tightly. It can also be caused by using a paper that is too stiff or brittle.
4. Misregistration: This can occur when the different colors of ink are not aligned properly. It can be caused by a problem with the printing press or by using a paper that is not dimensionally stable.
5. Poor color reproduction: This can occur when the colors of the printed image do not match the colors of the original artwork. It can be caused by a problem with the printing press, by using the wrong type of ink, or by using a paper that is not compatible with the ink.
