Why is printing heavy coverage or solids a problem?
Heavy coverages or solids is a pressmans nightmare. Lots of hickeys, banding, etc. Its not so much of a problem when printed on a large format press (20 x 29, 26 x 40) but nevertheless they maybe a headache at times and also the price of the job will be significantly higher. Here at City Colors we have two 13 x 18 Heidelberg QM DI presses and one 14 x 20 PressTek 52 DI. They are relatively small presses with a limited amount of inking rollers. The more inking rollers a press has, the smoother a large coverage job will look. The way City Colors likes to work is the right way. No matter how much a job costs or how much you are willing to pay, if we feel the job will print poorly (as far as coverage is concerned) we will let you know.
