  • Printing-material-carrying surface with micro-elevations, printing press cylinder and printing press having the surface and process having the surface and process for applying a fluid additive and printing process using the surface
    Publication number: 20060266237
    Abstract: A printing-material-carrying surface, having micro-elevations which make contact with a printing material provided with printing ink, is at least partly provided, preferably substantially only at peaks of the micro-elevations, with a fluid additive to improve print quality, in particular in recto and verso printing. The fluid additive, in particular a liquid additive diluting the printing ink and/or delaying and/or slowing the drying of the printing ink, is at least partly transferred to the printing material by the surface. A printing press cylinder and a printing press having the printing-material-carrying surface and a process for applying a fluid additive and a printing process using the printing-material-carrying surface, are also provided.
