Inkjet Myths Exposed
The concept is to lay down a fluid ahead of printing on the low-cost offset stock, allowing shops that print offset and digital to use a common house stock or allowing digital shops to take advantage of the price difference. The result is that ink stays on the surface, text is sharper and images appear more brilliant. (The World Bank's in-plant uses this technique to allow its HP T230 Color Inkjet Web Press to print on papers not manufactured for inkjet printing.)
