Advantages

Purposive, controlled re-moisturising

Outstanding advantages of application result from the location of the SoftWeb within the press line: Due to the short distance to the heatset dryer, the paper web is still relatively hot. Thus the printed paper will absorb the moisture very rapidly and intensively on the comparatively short moisturising line of the SoftWeb. Remoisturising breaks up the laminar flow of air along the surface of the paper web. This results in an improved heat transmission at the chills rolls and counteracts the buildup deposits on the chill rolls.
