Grapho Drier Extra

This is a special drier which reacts with the damping water emulsified into the ink and releases oxygen so that the printed ink starts to dry from within. The drying process is thus accelerated and scuff resistance improved.

Grapho Drier Extra is especially recommended for jobs with low ink consumption or when printing on foils. Suitable for sheet-fed offset, web offset for continuous forms.
