Using a gravure printing machine, there are traces of a scraper on the scratched printed material. The elimination method is to use clean ink without foreign matter mixed in for printing. Adjust the viscosity, dryness, and adhesion of the ink. Use a scraper and adjust the angle between the scraper and the printing plate.

Fault 1: When using a gravure printing machine, there is a periodic change in ink color on the printed product due to uneven ink density. The elimination methods include: correcting the roundness of the printing plate cylinder, adjusting the angle and pressure of the ink scraper, or replacing it with a new ink scraper.

Fault 2: Imprint smudging, fuzzing, and uneven layering of printed images, as well as the appearance of burrs on the edges of graphics and text. The methods of elimination include: removing static electricity on the surface of the substrate, adding polar solvents to the ink, increasing the printing pressure appropriately, adjusting the position of the ink scraper, etc.

Fault 3: When using a gravure printing machine, the phenomenon of blocking ink drying up in the mesh holes of the printing plate, or the mesh holes of the printing plate being filled with paper wool or paper powder, is called blocking. The elimination methods include increasing the solvent content in the ink, reducing the drying speed of the ink, and using paper with high surface strength for printing.

Fault 4: Ink overflow causes spots to appear on the surface of the printed material. The elimination methods include adding hard ink adjusting oil to increase the viscosity of the ink. Adjust the angle of the ink scraper of the gravure printing machine, increase the printing speed, and replace the deep mesh printing plate with a shallow mesh printing plate.

Fault 5: When using a gravure printing machine, there are traces of a scraper on the printed material. The elimination method is to use clean ink without foreign matter mixed in for printing. Adjust the viscosity, dryness, and adhesion of the ink. Use a scraper and adjust the angle between the scraper and the printing plate.
