| | .jpg) | Many printers have such low levels of emissions that they are considered minor sources per the EPA, and are not required to control these emissions. However, heat set web offset printing has a telltale visible plume and a distinct odor that can be a problem if the plant is near a residential area... especially when the plume is most visible.
This printer, unfortunately, had that exact problem. They need an inexpensive solution to a nagging neighborhood problem. They found that the cost of new equipment was prohibitive, and forced them to try to pacify neighbors by altering production schedules based on wind direction and seasons. Emissions from a heatset printer are visible as a blue gray smoke at ambient conditions. The ink solvent (magie oil) also has a high boiling point which can lead to problems with poorly designed oxidizer systems. | |
