    Dear Experts
    Can any one provide a better solution for the aqueous matte coating problem in SM74 coating unit with two rollers system

    Machine - SM74-5+L
    Coating Unit - Two roller system
    Coating Pan roller - Botcher with Shore hardness - 70 shore A - New Roller
    Aqueous coating - Matte WB -14-25B from Monarch
    Problem - Coating is not smooth with patterns and vertical lines

    Tried all basic settings in metering roller and coating pan roller
    Tried with different pressure setting for rollers and to blanket
    Tried with contiair coating blankets
    Increased coating will slightly improve but decreases matte effect

    Please provide your expert advice

    What is the viscosity of the coating?

    Dear Aqazi,
    Thanks for your enquiry to help me
    Maintaining 30 to 32 and same coating is reasonably acceptable in another machine SM52-5+L with same two roller system

    Check the bearer pressure and the gripper tensions. These could be creating the pattern with pulling the sheet out.

    Is it only over the wet ink area or on whole sheet?
