The purpose of silicone application is to minimize marking or scuffing during post-processing equipment handling. The protective effect of the silicone oil is temporary. Within a day, the silicone oil is completely absorbed by the paper. Once absorbed, the silicone oil no longer serves its protective function and has no impact on the appearance of the final product. The application of silicone oil by the Contiweb Digital Fluid Applicator does not affect the remoistening.
