- Sainmhíniú printing that uses inks which dry by evaporation in a dryer typically positioned just after the printing units; typically done on coated papers, where the ink stays largely on the surface, and gives a glossy high contrast print image after drying Tagairt COM-EN, based on:Wikipedia > Offset printing (23.12.2020)
- Nóta As the paper leaves the dryer too hot for the folding and cutting that are typically downstream procedures, a set of "chill rolls" positioned after the dryer lowers the paper temperature and sets the ink. The speed at which the ink dries is a function of dryer temperature and length of time the paper is exposed to this temperature. This type of printing is typically used for magazines, catalogs, inserts, and other medium-to-high volume, medium-to-high quality production runs.
