This ink allows to make sharp prints on humidified paper. Immediately after the first print run the paper can be humidified for the next run. It is also possible to print on dry paper, which has registry advantages for colour prints.
Wiping the plate is done much easier and quicker than with traditional oil based intaglio inks.
