Compact manual ink proofer with adjustable pressure and accurate film control This manual proofer lets you set the gap and pressure between the metal anilox roller and the rubber transfer roller for reliable, repeatable proofs. A single cursor knob at the base adjusts the relative position of the two rollers; an internal spring mechanism in the handle helps lock in the correct pressure and makes fine positioning easy. Key features and benefits Precise adjustment: Single cursor knob controls the relative position of the anilox roller and rubber roller for accurate contact and consistent ink transfer. Easy positioning: Spring mechanism inside the handle provides smooth, responsive positioning and holds the rollers at the selected pressure without extra tools. Durable materials: Metal anilox roller and rubber transfer roller, surface width 70mm, for robust handling and reliable proofing across runs. Intuitive operation: Simple, straightforward setup that reduces setup time and simplifies proofing procedures. Authentic proof results: Direct mechanical control of roller gap and pressure improves the fidelity of hand proofs. Control wet film thickness via line count selection Choose the line count of the anilox to control wet film thickness: more lines produce a thinner wet film; fewer lines produce a thicker wet film. For substrates or processes with ink absorption, select an anilox with fewer rows to increase wet film thickness. For substrates or processes with low ink absorption, select an anilox with more rows to reduce wet film thickness. Proper selection of line count and pressure helps optimize ink transfer and can improve conversion rates during production. Basic operation Use the cursor knob at the bottom to move the anilox roller relative to the rubber roller. Adjust until the desired contact and transfer are achieved; the spring mechanism keeps the rollers at that setting for consistent proofs. Typical applications Prepress and press checks: Produce hand proofs to verify color and film build before full press runs. Ink formulation and testing: Evaluate ink viscosity and transfer characteristics under controlled pressure and film thickness. Quality control for packaging and labels: Test ink behavior on different substrates and adjust anilox selection to match substrate absorbency. Specifications Roller types: Metal anilox roller and rubber transfer roller Surface width: 70mm Adjustment: Single cursor knob for relative roller position Mechanism: Springassisted handle for easy pressure setting This proofer provides straightforward mechanical control of roller position and pressure together with selectable anilox line counts to help achieve reliable, repeatable proofs in laboratory, prepress, and production support environments.
