These are the most modern to date Printing aids cause a relatively high mechanical Effort with new printing presses from the start equipped with it is still acceptable. When retrofitting older printing presses in operation with encapsulated pressure aids and introduction of the current into the However, the retrofitting effort would be enormous rise, so that the previous printing aids continue to do so used with long, rod-shaped voltage electrodes.
