"Water: A Key to Success" – Air Humidification in the Printing Industry

Find out more about the impact of water on the printing process and how the most common problems in printing and paper processing can be resolved.

Optimising cost-effectiveness

Standardised process water, optimal humidity and evaporative cooling can significantly improve cost-effectiveness in the printing and packaging industry.

Practical examples

Experiences with air humidification systems in digital and offset printing are shared through illustrative practical examples from HP and Heidelberg.

Better health and performance

According to recent studies, the survival of bacteria and viruses depends crucially on air humidity. Find out how optimal air humidity reduces the risk of infection and strengthens the immune defences of the mucous membranes.

Preventively reduces the transmission of viruses

A relative humidity of 40–60% supports the mucous membranes and can protect against infections. If the humidity is too low, the mucous membranes dry out, their self-cleaning function is impaired and the body is left defenceless against viruses and bacteria, for example.
