Summary

The damping solution is one of the many important parameters of the offset printing process. The main tasks of the damping solution are to wet the non-image areas of the plate, to emulsify in the ink, to maintain the ink viscosity to acceptable values by a cooling effect and to act as an anti-friction material to reduce heat production during printing.
