Oh! Good heavens! I certainly dropped this ball with a splat.So so sorry. If you still want my cards, I will get cracking here. If you would prefer to just move on, please do.

I know you wrote this years ago, but I just have to say THANK YOU! I have a meeting with a client tomorrow and I have blue fingers and nails from todays printing. I went to LOL to see if there was a solution to ink stained hands and I found your post. Maybe now my clients won’t think I strangled a smurf! ^_^

Thanks!

Good morning! Sounds like you already got some great advice. I’ll just add my two cents in case it helps shed a little more light on the problem you’re having.I have had this too-much-ink-on-the-outside-of-the-line problem in the past as well. I usually run my text parallel to my rollers, but it can happen with running text perpendicular to the…[Read more]

Kelly,That is genius. I will try it! Thank you so much for your help.Allie

Thanks Angela, will try my best and will post it on briarpress:-)

I wonder why I wasnt sent an email with these replies! Thank you everyone. The weird thing is, I think it is my rollers on my C&P. I even took a ton of ink off the press and was still getting the splotchy coverage. I tried it on my 3×5 Kelsey and the ink coverage was great (no impression to speak of though). I had some soy based ink custom mixed b…[Read more]

Cool–the only suggestion I have is to try running text parallel to the rollers. I was taught that this will eliminate the “end-of-line” inking variation, because then the line of type itself holds the rollers up. If the rollers are only hitting one letter at a time, then they put much more ink/pressure than you want on the sparse areas of your…[Read more]

I have found emails for all but two:Does any one know there emails or have a way to contact them? I have sent messages to them on the LOL Site.Barbara HaugenCamille Robin

Oh my gosh, Duh! Sorry….1) I am printing on a C&P 10×15. I don’t typically print with a super heavy impression because I don’t want to break my press. 2) I feel like the impression is about the same, its just the ink that’s heavier. Or, if the impression is more, it’s very subtle. How would you check that, other than running your finger across…[Read more]

who’s missing? Maybe you can send them a private message? Or find their email address and bug them that way? 🙂

Still need a few more submissions, the downfall to LOL is don’t think most people check it much. Hoping to close it up by the end of the month.We may not have all submissions at the end I don’t know..Angela

You might post this on briarpress as well.

Hi Ladies,I am still looking for that missing part, who can help me to find that additional part?Thanks very much!

Allie, a few more details should help narrow down your trouble.(1) What press are you working on? (You might be exceeding the impression strength of the press.)(2) Is the impression that’s heavier, or is there more ink at the ends of the lines? (Check this by taking an impression with no ink on the press.)(3) Are you running the lines of type…[Read more]
