Description
F1-UV : Printability tester with an integrated UV curing unit for flexo inks. Can also be used for gravure inks.
Features
The F1-UV has an integrated UV-curing unit, printed strips are immediately cured after printing. The device is equipped with driven anilox roller, this way it is possible to ink the anilox roller independently.
The printing part of the F1-UV consist of a combined inking unit with a doctor blade and anilox roller and a printing unit with a printing form and impression cylinder. The testers are specially developed to print reproducible strips of substrate with flexographic ink. They can also be used for printing in gravure mode for gravure ink. In that case the removable imprint cylinder is not used.
