    i have an sm 52-2 mod 99 and i have a new set of ink and dampening rollers including the water pan rollers.
    i am facing a big problem with the water that i always have in increased amount of water on the two edges so i can not get a stable ink density on the edges of my print.
    do you have any suggestion how i can fix this problem?
    Regards

    Does your press have air bars over the dampening system, if so use them on the edges of your print? If not, then tighten your pan roller by one half turn, then increase the sweep, that should help?

    Good luck

    thank you but what are the air bar and where are they located.
    And do you mean by sweep the speed of the pan roller?

    It sounds like you don't have any air bars then?

    Yes, the speed of the pan roller.
