Heat-Set Web / Mini Web- Cost Effective over 20,000 impressions under this see Cold-Set Sheet fed Lithographic (becomes a lower costing option).

A heat-set web press is the standard high volume catalog and magazine printing press.

This press has a heating unit that dries the printed ink as it exits the press. This allows the press to print at high speeds on coated papers such as gloss.

This press produces brilliant, crisp photo reproduction for catalogs, magazines and leaflets.

Heat-set web presses are very large, complicated presses that require several people to operate and setup. It is only reasonable to use this type of press for print runs of 10,000 copies or more and in increments of 8 pages, preferably 16.

99% of all mail-order catalogs are printed on this type of press.
