PRINT IMAGE DISTORTION BENDING
One of the problems encountered during printing is “print defect”, a problem often encountered when printing deep or curved surfaces. Causes and solutions:
Causes of Tampon
If the pad shape is not suitable, printing can be tried with different shaped pads.
If the image is too close to the buffer edge, the buffer should be shifted or replaced with a larger buffer.
If the pad is too soft or too hard, a pad of suitable hardness should be used.
Causes of Cliché and Ink
The cliché is too deep. This, together with a thin ink, can cause image distortion and skew.
Material-Related Causes
The material may be moving or bending during printing. This situation can be solved by using a hard pad that will not bend the material.
Other Reasons
If the holding apparatus is moving, the apparatus must be fixed.
If the material position is not suitable, the holder apparatus should be adjusted to support all areas of the material.
In angled prints, smooth print can be obtained by changing the angle of the holder apparatus.
