[HotHelp] Why is there cracking on my scoring job?
When a print job involves UV coating, scoring, and folding, it's common for cracks to appear along the folds. Over time, these cracks can expand, potentially leading to ink chipping off.
It’s important to understand that cracking is a normal part of the process when coated materials are scored and folded, even without UV coating. While skipping the UV coating might reduce the severity of cracking, it won’t eliminate it entirely. The more the job is used and folded, the higher the chances of cracking.
Being aware that cracking is an inherent characteristic of this process will help set realistic expectations for the final product.
