At IPEX, RK Print Coat Instruments launched the K Gravure Proofer, a compact bench-top device that enables manufacturers or users of press viscosity gravure ink to generate high quality proofs on any flexible substrate instantly.
The device incorporates a microprocessor controlled servodrive and employs the same electronically engraved printing plates that are used on the company’s Printing Proofer system. It is said to be easy to operate and clean.
In operation ink is transferred from the plate directly onto the substrate, which is attached to the rubber impression roller. Doctor blade and roller adjustments are made pneumatically and repeatable settings can be made for future tests. Variable printing speeds from 1-100m/min ‘ensure optimum printability and controllability’; maximum engraved area is 160 x 95mm.
