Cold weather outside means low humidity inside. This can cause serious production problems for printing and packaging operations. This educational document produced in association with the Graphic Technology Research Association gives a useful overview of how to improve print productivity in the dry winter months.

The 16-page guide provides details of the types of issues relating to humidity and water quality, which print and packaging companies can suffer, why they occur and how to resolve them. It also includes informative case studies on Heidelberg and Hewlett Packard owned facilities.

“The humidifier meets Polestar’s requirements and the customer is happy. Previous experience of Condair has been good. The guys that attended site changed the design to suit the site location with no issues in relation to price. The installation was of a high standard and looks good.”

“Vi kan tydeligt mærke en forskel i vores produktion, efter vi har fået det nye befugtningsanlæg. Vi oplever mindre variation i vores produktion, og derfor kan vi sikre en ensartet og stabil kvalitet til vores kunder. For vores medarbejdere betyder det et stabilt og sundt indeklima uafhængigt af årstidernes udsving i luftfugtighed og temperatur”

Quality Assurance Manager

“When paper loses moisture, ink will not adhere properly, which could cause a problem for our printing company whose reputation for quality is high. Not only has the JetSpray been proven in our industry, it is also uncomplicated, energy efficient and extremely hygienic in operation.

Due to the conditions in our print room, the humidifier has been running 99% of the day since installation, keeping RH at a perfect 50%.”

“Humidity control is important for paper handling consistency when running lighter weight stock on the Jet Press 720S in both the feeder and jetting area. We aim to maintain an RH of between 40% and 60%. Below this could potentially cause an increase in paper handling issues on light weight paper.

Once the humidifier was up and running correctly, it has performed well. It now easily and quickly gets the room up to the required RH and maintains this after start-up.”

Jeremy Rawley

Safety and Facilities Manager

“We already knew Condair, as we have a couple of their units in other print rooms. The quality of their equipment is right up there. Paper is susceptible to changes in environmental conditions so humidity is really important.

Their service is second to none as well. We work to tough deadlines and one of the key things for us is that Condair could supply the equipment quickly within the required timescale.

Having a local service engineer on call to maintain them in tip-top condition is important for us too.”
