kallend 2,107 #1 February 8, 2004 Reading "Parachutist" tonight, I noticed the cover getting sticky. On investigation, it seems the ink was coming off on my fingers. Then I wiped the cover with a damp cloth, and lots more of the ink just came off leaving big white patches. Has anyone else noticed this?...

meltdown 0 #9 February 8, 2004 Printing ink can be compromised by the oil in a person's skin. Also, ink remains tacky for a period of time after it is printed on the paper. This can vary with the type of paper used and weather conditions, especially high humidity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
