There are two methods of web offset
printing, regarding drying system, known as
heat set and cold set (or non-heat set). In
the heat set process, the ink is dried rapidly
by forced-air heating. In the non-heat set or
cold set process, the ink dries more slowly by
ordinary evaporation and absorption.
