    If it's on all units, check your dampening solution (any chance to post a picture of screen with parameters?)
    Clean that rollers with plate cleaner and desensitize them with gum.
    Are you decalcifying rollers regularly?

    Calcium Slayer & Flush is an extremely effective way to clean and decalcify your rollers. The pics are from a recent Komori cleaning in the UK, but offer a glimpse of what the product is capable of doing for your Heidelberg. Available in the UK and Europe through https://press-pal.co.uk
    printerscd, however you accomplish it, I hope you resolve your roller woes soon. All the best !

    Hi sir
    Check your roller setting between the dampnening roller and degreaser roller.
    when you do the pre-inking you must activate the intermediary to transfer a layer of ink to the dampening roller before pressurizing the dampening system to avoid unstable emulsion at start-up
    Good luck

    First, check your IPA percentage using alcoholometer, maybe your Alcosmart reading is wrong.
    Second, check your IPA quality, mix 10% IPA with water in a clean bottle, shake and wait for 15-20 minutes, if the mixture is clear then you know you have a good quality IPA, and if the mixture is foggy then you have to change your IPA supplier.
