Poor scuff resistance

Poor scuff resistance

Chalking - ink not binding to substrate

Certain papers can be very absorbent leaching away the ink vehicle and leaving the pigment unbound on the surface

Ink film not fully dry

Make sure the ink film is thoroughly dry. An oxidizing ink should take 24 to 48 hours to thoroughly dry. Many variables: substrate, fountain solution, ink coverage, ambient conditions

Ink is over-emulsified

Check pH and conductivity and Brix level of fountain solution, Run less fountain solution to achieve proper ink/water balance
