heatset inks (In French encres heatset) printing inks for rotary offset presses with hot air drying; the binding agents contain special mineral oils which evaporate and vaporize when exposed to hot air and which are made to match the substrate (coated or uncoated) or to withstand abrasion. The drying status that can be achieved is determined by the dwell time and the temperature conditions in the hot-air dryer.
