    This will sometime happen even with brand new Chrom rillers , if the Dampenning solution is not right.
    check your Chem first - look outside the box - what did you miss and look arround ?

    Have you changed any chemistry or inks recently?
    As Meny stated, check your fountain solution and also your Inks.

    Try calcium remover next time.It seems to remove the excess gum quickly.
