Get ready for waterless printing

Waterless printing technology based on Toray printing plates has been around for many years, but only a handful of merchants have adopted this technology, and most of them have only taken it for granted. The situation changed in 1997. Many users and designers expressed their willingness to accept waterless printing products. Printfine, of Liverpool, purchased two Lithrone 40s presses: one for coated six-color printing presses and one for printing. Five-color printing press. Like companies that have high-speed printing equipment with 15,000 sheets per hour, Printfine feels that regardless of the traditional method or waterless printing, to achieve good printing results, it must be equipped with a good post-press ink cooling control system. And this is the strength of Toray's printing plate, which comes with its own system at no additional cost, and it enabled Printfine Printing, the company that chose the waterless printing machine, to regain its competitive advantage. In the United States, TriService Inc., the leader in the development of ink cooling control systems, has achieved tremendous success in Europe in promoting the industry's transition to waterless printing, with the exception of the United States and Japan. Mitsubishi waterless presses are equipped with their TriService/MGE system. “We can accurately control the printing temperature of each part and ensure that most of the settings needed for fast printing are under control,” said Leif Jesson, head of production operations at Ahors. Printfine's touch and Aho Same company. Scott stated that the U.S. companies he used to use the system have been successful. When asked if his company still needed a scraping system, he said: “It is not necessary at all. We do not need to scrape the plates and the operators are very skilled. Our current job is to adjust the amount of ink in order to achieve the best printing results. Printing without water and alcohol is a smart choice.” In addition, an air-driven ink cooling system is another reason why the Toray printing plate is popular. Many manufacturers now use this system. The waterless printing controls the ink temperature through the operation window, improves the ink performance, the printed product image is clear, the color is sharp. Since inks designed specifically for waterless printing are now quite common, even small-scale printing companies, such as companies using 520 mm presses, do not have a cooling system, and the printed results will be equally good.
