SOME OF THE ADVANTAGES

Rejuvenates old presses ( generally the first thing to give trouble are the dampers )
Can be used on any Offset Press (Small, Large, Old, New 1 to 8 Colour Presses)
No fount solution - No cost
No alcohol - No cost
No damper maintenance cost (Cleaning etc.)
No circulation system - No cost
Faster make ready (no ink-water balance to achieve)
Plates can be made by hand
Available positive and negative - In all sizes
Less waste paper (No ink water balance, Faster start up)
Finer halftones (900 dpi have been printed!)
Higher ink weights (Denser Colours) with sharper screens
More consistent colour Sharper halftones (5-8% dot gain in mid tones)
Higher gloss (No water emulsification)
Better registration (less paper distortion)
No corrosion of press parts due to fount-alcohol solution
Rollers (No fount or alcohol damage)
Operators trained more easily
Generally faster drying (More consistency due to no emulsification)
Printing on plastic without the problems caused by dampers
Less spoilage (Due to variations in ink-water balance)
No gumming up of plates
More consistent response to ink feed adjustment (No ink-water balance to change)

Plates can be scratched more easily than litho plates, with care this is not a problem.  New plates with a much harder surface and Run lengths of up to 1 million sheets are available.

Plates cost 2-3 times the cost of litho plates.

Capital outlay on plate processor. But plates can be made by hand.

Capital outlay and energy cost of running a plate temperature control system. Advisable for very long runs at high speeds.

"If the system is that good why don't more printers us it"

Answer

We generally find that most people who give up on the system do so because they received little or on technical support. This is why we have opened the Waterless Training Centre
