Printing days

If i want the blackest black over a large area, do two prints, remove artwork from glass, do 3 blank photocopies, then replace artwork and do 2 prints, remove artwork , lighten setting, do 3 blank copies, then replace artwork,remember to darken setting, do 2 prints.

continue.

It can take a couple of hours to do a page.

I have been flattening curly lining paper in the 'blank' passes.

When prints crinkle, this tends to happen if the paper has already passed through the machine a couple of times for other pages.

Best solution is to take that set of prints home and flatten them, cool them or change their environment in some way.

Return next day with prints and they don't crinkle.

Two prints on a page seems to work without problem before any crinkling occurs.

Toady's session stopped by big paper jam.

I'll sort it tomorrow.

Off to work now, ha ha.
