People in the printing industry know that offset presses can be summarized as: hydrating version and alcohol dampening.

    Hydra version: As the name implies, water is the main ingredient, auxiliary material: wetting powder.

    Alcohol dampening: the main ingredient is still water, auxiliary materials: dampening solution and alcohol.

    Alcohol: Ethanol, used in printing as isopropanol, its main function is to reduce the surface tension of moisture.

    Moisturizing version: water, moisturizing powder, iron stick (water rubber sleeve); alcohol dampening: water, dampening solution, alcohol, rubber-based water gel


    The sleek version of the machine is suitable for low speed products with relatively low print quality requirements. Its advantages are: saving materials, environmental protection, and low air pollution to the workshop.


    The alcohol dampening machine is suitable for high-speed products with relatively high quality print quality. Its advantages are: print dots are full, images are realistic, and ink is easy to balance.


    Moisturizing version: the water-proof rubber sleeve needs to be covered with water rubber sleeve, and the water rubber sleeve functions: 1. Reduce the impact and friction between the water glue stick and the plate cylinder, 2. Make the water evenly coated on the surface of the printing plate, 3 Effectively absorb excess moisture from the surface of the plate. Here I suggest that the water gel sleeve should be made of chemical fiber, and the reason is not explained.
