consumption of rest). To maintain the level of ink in all other machineries , They use “Air-
Pressure Mechanism ” .

Actually they mix water with the ink . The blurring of images sometimes in the
newspaper is actually the result of improper propotion of this mixture.(water+Ink). They use
“RO water “ for mixing.
