    Definition "offset printing technique where the parts of the plate with the design to be printed are hydrophobic, while the unprinted parts are hydrophilic; as the oil-based ink does not mix with water, it does not stick to the wetted surface and therefore only the inked areas are transferred to the substrate" Reference "COM-Terminology Coordination, based on: Rotatek > News > Planographic printing: the differences between dry and wet offset (18.8.2022), 25 April 2022"
    Comment "This is the most common form of offset printing. Another offset printing process is dry offset. There are two types of wet offset: coldset, where the ink dries by evaporation and the absorption process of the paper, and heatset, where the press incorporates a heat-drying system to accelerate the evaporation of the solvents from the ink and subsequent cooling that settles the pigments on the substrate."
