The Printability of Waterless Web Offset

Waterless web offset has proven to be a viable printing technology with the improvement of plate, ink and temperature control technologies. To advance waterless printing technology, one must understand the printability of the process. The purpose of this study is two fold: 1. to examine the print characteristics of the waterless web offset process over a wide range of paper substrates; and 2. to compare these variations between conventional and stochastic screening processes.
