Symptoms
(1) Difference in the squeegee pressure between the front and rear of the print drum will result in uneven
density between the right and left of the prints.
(2) If the squeegee pressure is too strong (the gap too small), too much ink is transferred onto the inner
surface of the print drum and may result in ink leakage from the print drum. Other problems, such as the
master slipping out from the clamp plate and horizontal line images may start to rip on the master.
(3) If the squeegee pressure is too weak (the gap too large), not enough ink is transferred onto the inner
surface of the print drum and may cause the images on the prints to be too light or images missing from
the prints due to lack of ink on the drum surface, and more than necessary quantity of prints may have to
be printed before the image transfers completely on the paper.
