Offset printing

[...] The offset printing plates applied in offset printing are thin (nearly about 0.3 mm), and easy to mount on the plate cylinder, and they generally [...]

[...] nitrogen oxides in the existence of sunlight to create ozone pollution or photochemical smog. Offset printing inks typically consist to 30 % of mineral oils. Using eco-inks, also known as eco-solvent [...]

[...] Offset printing is an indirect lithographic printing technology. It is so well known among printing service [...]

[...] up together with the substrate by using an IR radiation source. The IR drying effect in offset printing can be described in the following way: Lowering of the ink oils’ viscosity by heating [...]

[...] solution (water plus additives) spreads over the non-printing areas. To achieve good wetting, surface tension has to be reduced by means of dampening solution additives. In extreme cases, reducing the [...]

[...] and non-printing areas of the plate are practically on one level. The printing areas of the printing plate are oleophilic / ink-accepting and water-repellent, that is, hydrophobic. The non-printing [...]

[...] its type and constitution. There are two types of photochemical reactions when producing the printing plate: hardening of the light-sensitive layer by light (negative plate-making), decomposition of [...]

[...] dampening system covers the non-printing areas of the printing plate with a thin film of dampening solution. This dampening solution (water plus additives) spreads over the non-printing areas. To [...]
