Color transfer between pads on multi-color jobs

Probable Cause	Possible Solution
Pad
Porous, worn surface	Replace pad
Cliché
Etching is too deep	Etch a new cliché with less depth
Wrong percentage and DPI of screen	Test a new cliché with a different screen (higher DPI screen for smaller areas & details)
Ink
Ink contains too much thinner	Add more pure ink
Ink is drying too slow	Use a fast drying thinner, blow air, or use pad delays/pauses to give inks time to dry
Material
Very smooth surface. Substrates which cannot be notched by the thinner (e.g. glass) are especially problematic	Use hot/cool air on part during the print, or use pauses before printing
Substrates contaminated with oils	Clean parts before printing.
