The rollers beneath the dock have lateral motion to even out ink flow, so one key does not affect only one 'stripe' by the time it reaches the plate. This means if you have a heavy area next to a very light one, you are going to get 'cross-talk' where each 'stripe' is influenced by the weight of ink near it. This must be taken into consideration when making your layouts. […cont'd] | |

You can even change your ink transfer density slightly by changing the plate dampening. | |
