M I S - R E G I S T R AT I O N
Due to the printing process, mis-registration can occur when printing more
than one colour. It's never more than a couple of millimeters, but something
to consider when reviewing ar twork.

Increase width / borders of graphics to help layers overlap and ensure a
full colour fill!
INK DENSITY
Large areas of solid ink coverage is not recommended (especially around
the edges and the top 4cm of the paper).
It often makes the paper stick to the internal drum or results in a visibly
varied print consistency.
This is especially impor tant to note if prints are double sided (books,
leaflets etc) or have multiple layers. Ar twork may get light track marks from
the rollers of the printer as it passes through the machine multiple times.
The prints stack up on top of each other once exiting the riso. If the
ar twork is very dense, or multi-layered, it can sometimes result in marks on
the reverse of the prints.
