offset vs.digital printing — Some 36% of the global print industry’s revenue is generated through commercial printing, making it the dominant sector. Yet, as everyone in business will attest, that revenue means little without significant profit. With demand for shorter print runs, and quicker throughput, those margins are being squeezed. Firms with direct mail, […]

transfer of printing ink to the printing substrate — The transfer of offset printing ink to the printing substrate or intermediate carrier through splitting the ink layer is mainly affected by the following parameters: A further factor influencing the layer of ink on the substrate is the absorption properties of the ink in the printing substrate. With both absorbent […]

powder application offset printing — In sheet-fed offset printing, the conventional ink is still not thoroughly dry when the sheet arrives at the delivery pile. Consequently one of the major requirements in sheetfed offset printing is the avoidance of smearing, offsetting (transfer of ink onto the following sheet), and blocking in the pile (sheets lying […]

drying hot air in offset — One problem with offset printing is that the ink is usually not sufficiently dry after printing, and therefore direct further processing/finishing of printed sheets is not possible. If cardboard is not sufficiently dry after printing, several problems can arise: In offset printing a sufficiently dry sheet that can be further […]

maintenance of offset printing rollers — For cleaning the rollers for offset printing it is recommended: 1. Use a water miscible wash to remove the top layer of solvent-soluble and water-soluble particles from the nap of the roller. 2. Use a non-grit roller paste to remove the insoluble particles. 3. Finally, wash a second time with […]
