Knockout Issues
What tips do you guys have for knockout printing? This is one of the bad prints from my last batch.. I want to know how I can perfectly squeeze white in between these red gaps. My guess is that I should have underbased the entire red bar and then used a highlight white on top. But still, if I were t...

I have noticed that using .75 pt as a choke is really hard to register on the press but anything larger than that causes the layer of ink covering the white base to be printed on the dark ...

Re: Five-Color Registration
Sounds good! I have watched pretty much every video you have posted on YouTube and I always refer back to them when I'm having some trouble. I raised my flash unit off of the pallet to make sure significant shrinking wasn't occurring between hits. I am using a push stroke for white and a pull stroke...

Five-Color Registration
Hey guys, I am having a few problems. I just recently opened my own print shop after working with another one for a few months. I am currently working on a 5-color job for a client. I am using a white under base with this print. For some reason I cannot get things to register the correct way every t...
