Special Issues
The technique of heat set web offset printing, with its special drying process, has its own, unique
requirements. In multi colour web offset printing on coated papers, the paper web is printed on both
sides and thermally dried after it leaves the last printing unit. Drying takes place at this point because an
unsettled layer of ink would rub off on the turning bars, the guide bars and the former fold, causing the
print to smear and preventing successful processing in the folding unit. Heat set inks settle (or "set")
when the thin-liquid binding agents evaporate. To make this happen, the printed—paper web is heated
in a multi section-drying oven, with different temperatures in each of the different sections. Usually, the
first section has the highest temperature, which is then gradually reduced in the following sections.
Overall, however, very high temperatures are used, because processing takes place at high speed and
the paper does not remain in the drying oven for very long. When it leaves the oven, the paper web is
usually at a temperature of 100 to 130°C, depending on paper quality, substance, and ink covering.
PROBLEMS IN WEB OFFSET PRINTING
Blistering
When the ink dries, so does the paper. In intensively printed areas, if the drying temperature is too high
or if the paper is sensitive to such problems, this can lead to blistering. The sudden, extreme rise in tem-
perature produces a build-up of water vapor in the internal structure of the paper. And because the
paper is not only coated, but also printed on both sides — at certain places covered in thick layers of ink
— this vapor has nowhere to go. This leads to tearing in the internal structure of the paper and blistering
in the printed areas (see figures). From a technical point of view, blistering is a direct result of ink layer
thickness and high temperatures in the drying oven. Thick layers of ink reduce the air (or vapor) perme-
ability of the paper surface and high temperatures increase the amount — and the pressure — of vapor
building up in the internal structure.
The easiest and most efficient way to prevent blistering is reducing the oven temperature. This means
that printing speed will have to be reduced as well, in order to achieve sufficient settling of the ink at a
lower drying temperature. Since blistering only occurs in areas with intensive ink covering on both sides,
reducing the thickness ofthe ink layer — by means of UCR (Under Colour Removal), for instance — can also
have a positive effect. Apart from this, there are certain paper properties that affect blistering, such as
the type of binding agents and coating pigments used, the amount of binding agents contained in the
paper and the amount of coating used, and the degree to which the surface has been "closed" as a result
of calendaring. Obviously, the humidity of the paper is a very important factor as well. Usually, papers
intended for web offset printing, particularly the wood free types, have lower humidity levels than
papers for sheet offset printing
Breaking in the fold
Breaking in the fold is a common problem in web offset printing, particularly when mechanical papers
are used. Broken or severely weakened folds can cause press stops and can make the end product
unusable (see figure to the right). The main sources ofbreaking in the fold are the extreme temperatures
the paper is subjected to in the drying oven and the pressure applied in the folding unit The single most
important thing here is to find a compromise that will allow for sufficient ink drying without causing the
paper to dry out. In the folder, the pressure applied by the folding rolls must be carefully adapted to the
thickness of the paper used.

Special Issues
Hufing
Even today, more or less pronounced forms of "fluting" are among the typical problems in
web offset printing on coated papers. The waves run parallel to the printing direction — which,
in the case of web offset, is automatically the machine direction. One of the main paper char-
acteristics that affect the severity of fluting, is the MC/ CD (machine direction / cross direction)
strength ratio of the paper. Strong longitudinal fibre orientation makes a paper more sensi-
tive to fluting. Interestingly, the problem occurs most with papers of the lower substances.
But the decisive factor is the printing form itself. Pages that contain intensively printed areas
next to areas with hardly any or no ink at all, are particularly sensitive to severe fluting. When
this happens, there is nothing that can be done in the printing process to prevent it.
Waviness observed before the paper is actually fed into the web offset press, however, is a
very different issue. One method of partially preventing these so-called "tensile waves”, is to
reduce web tension. The problem can never be totally eliminated, since a certain amount of
web tension will always be necessary to prevent creasing or mis-registering.
Expanding
The problem of expanding or ”growing” of printed paper, as seen when pages produced in
web offset are combined with covers produced in sheet offset, is caused by the intensive
drying of papers after they leave the drying oven. Here, so much moisture is extracted from
the paper, that it inevitably shrinks to some degree, up to 0.3 to 0.7%. After the signatures
have been gathered, stitched and cut, the paper begins to adapt to the surrounding humidity
once again, and starts to "grow", causing the inside pages to extend beyond the size of the
coven
The best method for counteracting or totally eliminating this problem is sufficient remoistur-
ing. Remoisturing installations serve to evenly dehumidify the entire paper web after it leaves
the drying oven. This also improves paper flatness and totally eliminates the risk of static
charges. Remoisturing equipment can be easily installed on most existing printing presses.
Remoisturing installations use digital web sensors to control humidity and temperature. The
installation is placed directly above, but not touching the paper web, thus creating a limited
space with a carefully regulated and measurable artificial climate in which outside influences
can easily be compensated for. This way, paper quality is continuously monitored. Apart from
that, these measurements supply large amounts of data that can be used as a basis for process
improvements.
