Function of silicone anti-marking solution in web off-set printing.
The primary objective of the silicone is to provide some slip to the web so that the ink will not rub
off on the angle bars, pipe rollers and former board which can then redeposit to leave “marks” on
the printed sheet. Some slip is also required so that signature books will deliver and stack properly by the conveyor and collection system and also in bindery equipment.
