Liquids for Use in the Full-Immersion Printing Process
Solvents that can be used in connection with the full-immersion wet-printing process are examined. A number of factors must be considered in the selection of a suitable liquid, and the following factors are discussed: index of refraction of liquid, effect of liquid on film base and emulsion, liquid mixtures, effect of liquid on print film in contact printing, effect of liquid on printing machine, removal of liquid from film after printing, liquid filtration and distillation, and toxicity and thermal decomposition.
