  Tacking System Stops Marking
  The ETAC charging system eliminates condensate streaking often found on heat-offset presses. System “tacks” the web to the first chill roll and eliminates the “float” or air gap between the printed web and the surface of the chill roll. Increased contact between the web and chill rolls also eliminates web drift or weave after web comes out of the dryer and helps ink set by cooling the web quickly, permitting faster printing speeds.
