To make the ink on the plate can be clearly transferred to the surface of the substrate. There must be enough printing pressure. However, the applied printing pressure should not be too large. Excessive printing pressure will cause the substrate to continue to deform, the print becomes thicker, the dots are graded, and the paste is affected, which affects the sharpness of the graphic and at the same time increases the wear of the printing plate. The printing plate's printing durability decreased. When the printing pressure is insufficient, the printing plate and the blanket are not sufficiently reliably contacted, and the blotting becomes shallow, which affects the sharpness of the graphic.


As the printing speed increases, the ink color of the print becomes lighter. At first it was thought that the printing speed increased and the printing pressure decreased, but it was not. Since the embossing time is reduced as the printing speed is increased, the pressing time of the printed surface is reduced, and the amount of ink transferred to the surface of the substrate is also reduced, and the density is reduced. This causes the ink of the print to become lighter. In actual production, in order to compensate for such defects, a method of increasing the printing pressure is often employed.


Furthermore, in the case of the same footprint, the printing speed is also directly related to the size of the printing cylinder. In order to obtain a print of the same print quality, the print speed of a large press cylinder must be slower than the print speed of a press smaller than the impression cylinder.
