Cold-set web printing presses are operated by only a limited number of printing companies in the United States. Alcom Printing Group is proud to be among them with a deep history and knowledge of the production process. Often used for bulk printing projects, this printing method provides high-volume output on absorbent uncoated paper, making it the preferred option for those requiring speed and cost-efficiency in their print production.
Cold-set web printing is a process where ink dries through absorption into uncoated paper and evaporation, eliminating the need for energy-intensive dryers. Known for its efficiency and cost savings, this method produces sharp, high-quality prints on absorbent paper at rapid speeds, making it ideal for high-volume printing projects such as annual reports, catalogs, booklets, and financial statements.
Cold-set web printing presses utilize large rolls of paper to print tens of thousands of feet per hour, making them one of the most cost-effective solutions on the market. This high-speed process keeps expenses down by spreading setup costs across larger print runs, resulting in a lower cost per piece. It’s an ideal option for businesses or publications looking to produce booklets, catalogs, and other large-volume materials without compromising on quality or budget.
Our cold-set web printing presses provide a versatile range of options for creating the exact look you need with both black-and-white and CMYK capabilities.
