influence on electrostatic charge on printing paper
Offset printers know very well what this problem represents: printing sheets stick together because they are electro-statically charged. This condition may result in feeder trip-offs, print voids from surface contamination, ink offset, or poor sheet jog in the delivery. Static electricity arises from either an electron deficit (positive charge) or […]
