The CT1x3 is especially designed to print three strips of 15 mm, besides each other, directly on closures, cans and tubes with a diameter between 16 and 68 mm. This unit is equipped with an easy exchangeable impression cylinder to slide the tin or tube on. Also prints of 35 mm wide can be made on tins and cans.<\/p>\n<p>With the CT1x3 prints of 35 mm or 3&#215;15 mm and regular prints on flat substrates can be produced as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>World-wide the best printability tester for offset inks.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>IGT Testing Systems supplies the C1 type printability testers, which are simple but very successful all over the world for offset inks in various printing widths.<\/p>\n<p>Makes colour strips with offset inks with a known ink layer thickness which can be used for many purposes.<br \/>\nSpecially designed for computerized colour measuring and colour matching systems.<br \/>\nSaves costs because colour tests on the printing presses are no longer necessary.<br \/>\nCan print directly on all substrates including ready tubes or cans, version CT1x3 can do this on any inner diameter between 16 and 68 mm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>APPLICATIONS<\/strong><br \/>\nThe C1 printability testers produce colour strips which are suitable for many purposes, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Measuring colour with colour measuring systems\/spectrophotometers e.g. in colour matching<\/li>\n<li>Visual appraisal<\/li>\n<li>Density measurements, including establishing colour and density tolerances and determination of coverage, wear resistance, scratch resistance, flexibility, adhesion and gloss, ink transfer (in g\/m\u00b2), light fastness and resistance to chemicals<\/li>\n<li>Testing printing quality, gloss, mottle and set-off<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The C1 tester prints all sorts of coated and uncoated materials like paper, board, plastic film, cellophane, laminate, metal, etc. The C1 tester is used in the following industries:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>printing ink, paper and board, printers<\/li>\n<li>metal, plastics and packaging<\/li>\n<li>resins, lacquers and coatings<\/li>\n<li>raw materials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>OPERATION<\/strong><br \/>\nThe C1 type printability testers consist of an inking section and a printing section with removable printing disc (printing form). The inking unit consists of two aluminium drums and a top roller.<br \/>\nThe distribution of the ink only takes 30 s due to the diameter ratio and the drum movement. The inking time of the printing disc is 15 s.<br \/>\nCleaning the systems is very simple and quick, due, among other things, to the fact that both aluminium drums are driven. The printing unit consists of the printing form and an impression cylinder. The substrate is attached to a substrate carrier. The substrate carrier with the substrate is then placed on the substrate guide, between the impression cylinder and the printing disc.<br \/>\nAfter the printing force has been applied, the print is made automatically. The printing disc is then lifted automatically, after which the substrate is removed for appraisal and the printing disc is cleaned. It is also possible to print on drink cans: for this purpose they are slid on the impression cylinder, the substrate carrier not being used in this case.<br \/>\nThe printing force can be set in 19 steps between 100 and 1000 N.<\/p>\n<p>For printing on drink cans, the impression cylinder can be replaced with one of a different diameter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To print directly on closures, cans and tubes with inner diameter between 16 and 68 mm.
