SPECIFICATIONS

INK ROLLS

Universal offers two ink roll options for the Non-Porous Conveyor Line Printers each with unique characteristics which will help determine the suitability for a specific printing application. The coders are designed to accommo- date both types of ink rolls without modification. A detailed review of your printing requirements will determine the best choice of ink rolls for your particular application.

XF NEOPRENE INK ROLLS

Universal’s XF Neoprene Ink Rolls are a re-inkable roll which can be used with a variety of alcohol or glycol base inks. These rolls are normally supplied in a dry condition with the coder and require pre-inkingprior to installation. Pre-inked rolls are avail- able from the factory and are recommended for first time us- ers.

During production printing, when the ink capacity of the roll is depleted, installing a 4 Oz. Reservoir Ink Cartridge in the coder’s reservoir Bottle Port will re-ink the roll automatically as produc- tion continues.

In high speed web printing applications, Universal’s #100 Inks provide drying times of approximately 2 seconds at 75 Degree F. (24 Deg. C) ambient temperature. Many other inks, both dye and pigment based, can be used in these ink rolls to meet the specific application requirements. Refer to the Basic Principles of Operation section on Page 16 for more information on se- lecting an appropriate ink.

TYPE MT INK ROLLS

Universal’s Type MT Ink Rolls are disposable pre-inked rolls which are available in a variety of fast drying colors. The MT Ink Rolls provide excellent color density and adhesion on most materials and an average yield of just under 500,000 impressions before replacement is necessary. Since these rolls are not re-inkable, all references in the manual regarding the use of 4 Oz. reservoir Ink Cartridges should be disregarded when using these rolls on your coder. The ability to operate the coder without a Reservoir Ink Cartridge makes the MT Rolls particularly well suited for appli- cations requiring printing on the bottom of web materials.

The Type MT Ink Rolls provide drying times between 4 - 7 sec- onds at 75 Degree F. (24 Deg. C) ambient temperature. The added convenience and simplicity of using the Type MT Ink Rolls makes them an ideal choice when production operators have little time to monitor the inking system.
