A customer is complaining that our litho printed sheets are emitting an odor when run through a toner digital press. What is causing this?
Mar 28, 2018

Odor issues are difficult to determine; however, residual solvents from ink could be flashed off with the high temperatures of fuser roller, or something in the paper/coating is reacting to the high heat. Run some unprinted paper through to determine if the odor is coming from the ink or paper. If it is coming from the ink, discuss this with your ink supplier. If it is coming from the paper, use a laser-compatible paper.
