SOUR INK/KICK OUT


Some of the ink's ingredients go out of suspension, causing loss of ink flow with a tendency to curdle.

 

Causes:

- Excessive moisture content of ink due to high humidity levels;

- Wrong solvent or too much diluting agent.

 

Solutions: 

- Add normal propyl acetate. Ensure ink tray covers are used;

- Add more effective (richer) solvent to blend or replace ink if necessary. Use ink tray covers.
