Back Ghosting (Migration)
  The phenomenon when ink transfers irregularly in various locations when printing on the rear side of a double-sided print sheet or ink drying times increase is called back ghosting. This happens because a gas that is produced by the first-printed inks drying changes the properties of the rear printing surface of the YUPO® when it comes in contact. There are no perfect remedies when this problem occurs, so be sure to implement the following preventive measures in advance.

Preventive measures
  • Be sure to use Recommended inks.
  • Be sure that the side having sparser image content is printed first.
  • Do not add drier to the inks to be used for the first-side printing.
  • Once the first-side inks have set, be sure to ventilate the YUPO® sheets as soon as possible and as frequently as possible.
  • Once the first-side inks have dried, be sure to print the rear side as soon as possible (within 48 hours at the latest).
  • It is effective to add a G drier or an "X + Y = DRY" drier to enhance drying of the rear side. Also, once the inks have set, ventilate the sheets immediately and as frequently as possible.
