    Hi all, we are new to UV and all the different inks seem to give us the same problem.
    We are running a XL 105 long perfector and when running gloss text weights we get a lot of Puckering...where the pulling force of the ink shows up on the other side of the sheet, almost like an debossed look. Also the jobs don't fit well from the lead edge to the tail. Its like the ink is too tacky. We have tried several blankets and several inks and different stocks.
    Any ideas??

    Try tack reducer for UV inks, or contact your ink manufacturer to give you the appropriate ink series.
