its advantages. One thing that both new and experienced Waterless printers have lacked is

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.
