Ink-jet printing is the fast-growing category for printing on various different materials. In production printing, the print speed is fast on coated paper. The use of ink-jet printing has been expected in this area, but now the use is limited to coated paper with ink absorbing capacity. Ink-jet supplies have been developed to print fine images on coated paper for offset printing where it is difficult for the paper to absorb ink-jet ink. Three types of supplies with different functions have been developed as follows.
