Web-offset rotary printing
Ikeuchi offers non-wetting, energy-efficient humidity control solutions specifically designed for the demands of printing environments.
Humidity control
In web-offset rotary printing, low humidity can cause significant issues such as paper curl, web breaks, print misalignment, and increased downtime. Static electricity—especially during colder months—worsens these problems, leading to dust attraction, poor ink transfer, registration errors, and even fire risks.
Targeted spot humidification near presses helps stabilize conditions by reducing static and preventing paper deformation. This ensures smoother web handling, fewer interruptions, and consistent print quality year-round.
Ikeuchi’s “Dry Fog” humidification system delivers ultra-fine mist precisely where it’s needed—near the press—without wetting machinery. It’s an energy-efficient solution designed to meet the demanding needs of web-offset rotary printing.

Reduce the risk of printing defects with humidity control
Humidity control
Maintaining stable humidity levels is critical in web-offset rotary printing. With precise humidification control, a consistent relative humidity of 50–60% can be maintained year-round, significantly reducing printing defects, paper deformation, and web breaks.
The AKIMist® system is ideal for this environment, offering non-wetting, energy-efficient humidity control. It consumes up to 80% less energy than traditional systems and provides a natural cooling effect, cutting air-conditioning energy use by up to 20%. Its ultra-fine droplets also help suppress dust, reducing the risk of fires and explosions while supporting a safer, cleaner workspace.
AKIMist® can be installed as spot humidification directly at critical points—such as the ink unit or feeder and delivery sections—allowing for targeted control. This focused approach means fewer units are needed, helping to minimize installation costs while maximizing performance.
