: Ink smears or distorted images on finished cans?

Before changing the ink, check the mechanics. Most smearing issues can be traced back to a few common causes that affect rotation, pressure, or component wear.

Common culprits:
✔ Mandrels not rotating during varnishing
✔ Excessive pressure between the gravure and applicator rollers
✔ Swollen varnish composition roll
✔ Worn pre-spin belt or ring
✔ Varnish buildup on the pre-spin belt

If the issue persists:
• Clean or replace bearings with dried varnish
• Reduce gravure-to-applicator roller pressure
• Adjust varnish supply if overflow is occurring
• Reset uneven steel rolls or replace the varnish composition roll
• Replace worn pre-spin belts or rings

Smearing is rarely random. Finding the root cause quickly helps reduce waste, improve print quality, and keep production running efficiently.
