    Having #PrintingProblems? Check out this week's #TechTip Problem: Sheetfed - Chalking Symptoms: Ink pigment does not bind to the substrate. The ink surface has a dull, chalky surface and rubs easily. Jobs can often be saved by running aqueous coatings or overprint varnish. Probable causes: 1. Ink contains too little drier for the substrate. 2. The substrate is too acidic, resulting in slow drying. 3. Ink film is too thin because the ink strength is too strong. 4. Fountain solution pH is too low. 5. The ink body is too soft, causing excess penetration into the substrate.
