Waterless Guide Published

The First and Only Complete Guide to Waterless Printing

Waterless printing is an outstanding technology that enhances print quality, provides production benefits and is environmentally friendly. Waterless installations and start-ups continue to increase around the world as printers recognize its advantages. One thing that both new and experienced Waterless printers have lacked is a comprehensive technical resource. Until now.

Technical Manual/User Reference

The Waterless Guide is a complete technical manual and user’s reference containing hundreds of pages of essential information for both new and experienced Waterless users. John O’Rourke, former technical manager for Toray Industries and currently an independent consultant specializing in Waterless printing, is the author of the Waterless Guide.

Written with the Printer in Mind

The Guide takes a practical approach to Waterless. O’Rourke uses his thorough knowledge of the process along with actual service record databases to address the most common problems printers encounter with Waterless.

O’Rourke says, "In over six years of working exclusively with Waterless printers, and launching hundreds of Waterless accounts, one thing has become very clear, the problems that printers encounter in learning and using the Waterless system fall into five or six categories. My experience has not been one of addressing hundreds of different problems, but rather addressing the same few problems hundreds of times over. I have found that the most practical approach to training printers is to address the areas where they are most likely to have difficulty. By reviewing and thoroughly explaining these key issues, the Waterless Guide is the most practical source of real world information available for printers."

192 Pages, Over 40 Illustrations

Topics covered in this handy, 6" x 9", perfect bound Guide include: Plate and processor troubleshooting, how to prepare and output film and plates for high resolution, temperature control system design and operation, establishing the correct operating temperature for Waterless inks, repairing image on Waterless plates, press, roller and blanket set-up and considerations, as well as a wealth of other practical information.

A Must for All Your Staff

If you save just one plate remake, eliminate one hour of press time, or answer a vital sales question, you’ve paid the price of five books. This is why you need to have more than one book handy for pressmen, systems operators and even your sales staff. This book is a tremendous resource for both new and experienced Waterless printers, suppliers of related Waterless products or anyone who is interested in understanding the issues involved with the Waterless process.
