fine color ink fountains for perfect ink setting

  • Laser-cut precision blades with special seals
  • Available for different machine types and in the required print width
  • Reliable mechanism for ink key adjustment allows for exact reproduction of the gaps between ink blade and ink duct roller for all ink keys
  • Movement of each blade segment plane-parallel to the duct roller
  • Individual ink keys can be set independently of the surrounding ink keys
  • Fully reproducible positioning after every cleaning
  • Flexible seal between ink blade, cheeks, and duct roller

CIPCon

 

Data conversion software CIPCon processes CIP3-standard files by a range of manufacturers and subsequently calculates the preset values for the ink fountain control of printing presses. CIPCon enables waste and time savings of up to 30 percent.

CIPCon offers

  • Individual adjustment of the con­version curves of area coverage values to ink key steps for each individual printing ink
  • Preview of the entire print image
  • Customization to align with internal workflows
  • Integration into the company network
  • Interfaces to various machine manufacturers
