Waterless printing is an offset lithographic printing process that eliminates the water or dampening system used in conventional printing. It uses a special silicone rubber coated printing plate, special ink, and typically a means of temperature control on press. The plates allow the printed dot to be held within a silicon rubber layer preventing any unwanted movement of ink; dot gain. The benefits of controlling dot gain are obvious to the naked eye with sharper images and more vibrant colours. Visit the quality and environmental tabs for an extensive look at the benefits.
