Waterless
Digital Plate Technology
The waterless plate is an innovative offset printing plate
that permits offset printing without the need for water dampening,
combining a special silicone rubber with a completely new image-formation
principal. |
Higher
Print Quality
| • Consistent
colour: eliminates the vagaries of the dampening system and
you get more consistent colour throught the press run |
| • Better
colour saturation: four-colour process ink densities have
averaged 20% higher than SWOP standards. A benefit designers
and print buyers love |
| • Low
dot gain, more detail: the inherent low dot gain of waterless
lets you run higher screen rulings for much better detail.
Waterless works well, regardless of the screen rulings. Even
if you run 175 line screens, you'll print a better product. |
More
Economical
| • Shorter
working time – faster make-readys |
| • Higher
productivity and less paper waste – Because presses
running waterless come up to colour and register so much
faster, and hold those consistently throughout the press
run, paper savings of 30-40% have been reported. In addition
to saving trees, that also represents a significant manufacturing
and paper cost savings. |
Environmentally
Friendly
| • Dampening-related
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are eliminated from the
printing process. |
| • Waterless
printers have recorded dramatic conservation of our water
resources. |
| • Obviously,
removing dampening from the press and eliminating the need
for the toxic substances found in blanket wash solutions
will not only ease the burden on our air, soil and water,
it will help protect our most precious natural resource:
mankind. |
