Id love to see a comparison of the results of waterless printing and regular printing, i bet its not that different.

There is a relatively new printing process called waterless printing. It's still in it's infancy with only a small number of presses worldwide. Sometimes referred to as dry offset, it's a process that does not use water, alcohol or standard inks. The inks used are vegetable based. In addition the process uses aroung 40% less paper for setting up the presses. A standard range of documents can be printed using this process including full colour sales & marketing material.
