IGT FlexoProofer

Available on backorder

The IGT Flexo Proofer is an advanced printing device, specially developed for printing accurate and reproducible proofs of (mixed) colours on a specific substrate. The correlation with the commercial printing press enables reproducible proofing, with the least possible dropouts during the printing process.

The ink section with an engraved anilox roller and doctoring system, a sector with the printing form (photopolymer) and a sector on which the substrate is mounted generate a high-quality
print according to a pre-set profile. A powerful computer accurately controls all movements. Profiles can be easily created and/or adjusted on the touchscreen monitor.

Characteristics

• Kiss-print printing force principle: The pressure (force) between anilox and both sectors are controlled very accurately with sensors.
• Open-chamber doctoring system: This doctoring system brings the doctor blade into contact with the anilox roll, allowing precise ink dosing. The open- chamber doctoring system prevents ink running off to the edges of the anilox, which may cause fouling.
• Advanced clamping system: The printing form (photopolymer) can be easily clamped and changed. If required, a compressible cliché tape can be mounted underneath the photopolymer.
• Substrate sector: The substrate is secured in clamps and can be easily removed after printing.
• Replacing anilox roll and sectors: If necessary, both the anilox roll and sectors can be changed easily and quickly, without readjustment.
• User-friendly interface: The operator receives clear instructions when performing a print job.
• Anilox roll: Has a width of 100 mm with a 95% screening. Standard slalom-cell geometry engraving is available in different volumes.
• Profile settings: All settings, such as number of pre-inking revolutions, speed and printing force, can be saved and stored as a profile.
• Cleaning mode: All parts of the inking and printing section can be cleaned quickly and thoroughly.

Advantages

• Consistent result: The IGT Flexo Proofer delivers highly accurate and reproducible prints, ensuring optimal correlation between the production press and the proof.
• Minimal deviations: Deviations between different prints are below Delta E (dE) 1, ensuring that the correlation with the printing press is always close and minimising press downtimes due to bad colour matching.

With the IGT Flexo Proofer the operator can count on a reliable and efficient solution to predict the correct colour on the printing press. Contact IGT Testing Systems today for more information or a demonstration by one of our 65 representatives worldwide.
