Why Waterless?
Because of the benefits, of course!
In, 2001, at the time when Labelpak became the only waterless offset
printing company in SA by importing its waterless printing equipment, a large
number of South African labels had to be printed in countries such as Australia
and the UK. Waterless printing also renders higher quality than digital printing
because of its reduced dot-sizes (four micron). It is also the only
environmentally-friendly printing method. The most important benefits
of waterless printing include perfect reproduction. This means that art and
graphic material submitted to Labelpak is reproduced without any loss of definition.
The process also ensures a zero-percent vignette because of the reduced
dot-sizes used. The sleeve foiling method also distinguishes Labelpak as the only
SA printing company capable of in-line printing on foil. This brings the customer
superb quality at a much-reduced rate.

What is Waterless?
The Waterless Printing Association, of which Labelpak is a member, defines
Waterless Printing as an offset lithographic printing process that
eliminates the water or dampening system used in conventional
printing. The process involves the use of special silicone rubber-coated
printing plates, special ink and, typically, a means of temperature
control on press.

Waterless and the Environment
The printing industry has been cited as a major contributor to environmental
degradation in many countries throughout the world (www.waterless.org).
The advent of waterless printing, however, has earned numerous printing
companies national and international environmental awards in recognition of
their environmental standards. According to the Waterless Printing Association,
many role players in the printing industry are currently receiving ISO 14001
certification for their Environmental Management programmes.

Environmental benefits incurred by the use of waterless printing include
reduced air and water pollution, reduced deforestation and safe
working conditions.
