The Nanographic Printing™ Process

Executive summary

On May 2, 2012, Benny Landa – inventor of the Indigo Digital Press – brought news of a breakthrough that may greatly advance print technology and its related economics.
In fact the blogosphere already has articles suggesting that this could be the biggest change in printing since Gutenberg invented the printing press.
Nanographic Printing™ technology differs from other printing technologies because it uses NanoInk – a proprietary water-based ink with nano-pigment particles that measure tens of nanometers in size.
Unlike lithography, Nanographic Printing™ technology harnesses the advantages of digital printing, including shorter turnaround times, reduced waste, the ability to print runs as short as one copy, as well as variable data printing.
At the same time it also offers offset qualities.
Whereas inkjet printing jets transfer the image directly onto the substrate, Nanography first ejects the NanoInk™ dispersions onto a unique heated blanket, and only then is the ink transferred from the blanket to the substrate in the form of an ultra-thin film.
This white paper explains how Nanography™, the Nanographic Printing process, achieves the combined versatility and short-run economics of digital printing and the qualities and productivity of offset printing.
