Web Press

A web press is a printing press that prints on continuous rolls of paper or other substrates. These rolls of paper are called webs. Web presses are typically used for very high volume printing including magazines and newspapers. Web presses are much faster than most sheet-fed presses, can often print both sides at once with a reversing bar setup, and produce cut sheets by slicing the output inline. Newspaper web presses are often several floors high.

Heat-set web presses use heat to set the ink.

Cold-set web presses do not use heat to set the ink and typically handle lower volume printing than heat-set presses.
