    Yes Adam, interesting stuff if not so worrying.

    There is a relatively new printing process called waterless printing.

    It's still in it's infancy with only a small number of presses worldwide.

    Sometimes referred to as dry offset, it's a process that does not use water, alcohol or standard inks. The inks used are vegetable based.

    In addition the process uses aroung 40% less paper for setting up the presses.

    A standard range of documents can be printed using this process including full colour sales & marketing material.

    I heard about waterless printing a while back but it hasnt really taken off as much as i hoped it would... its a shame because on a larger scale it could really make an impact .. Id love to see a comparison of the results of waterless printing and regular printing, i bet its not that different.
