Troubleshooting Tip
Generally, if the gloss is not present when printing, you should first check the ink viscosity. Remove any excessive air movement near or around the pads. Unsatisfactory gloss is caused by the ink being in a "dry state". Try printing multiple times on a piece of paper or tape before printing on the actual part. This will get the process of filling and emptying the etched area or the "wetting process" started. You should notice the gloss returning to the image after a few hits.
