Heatset web-fed printing utilizes drying lamps or heaters to set the inks they are typically used for printing on coated or glossy paper. Cold web offset printing dries through ink absorption into the paper and is typically used for lower quality printing. “Cold” and “heat-set” web-fed presses are available, and vary by the methods through which their inks dry. Newspapers, magazines, catalogs, and books are all typically printed using web offset presses. Web or web-fed offset printing presses are used to print on long rolls of paper that are fed continuously into the press. Waste sheets can be used for make-ready, allowing for lower cost preparation and limiting paper waste.
