Glazing

Over time, rollers pick up particles from the ink, the paper coating and the dampening agent which block the roller pores. This contamination results in a smooth shiny surface. Inappropriate detergents and hard water contribute to this effect. Transfer of ink and dampening solution is noticeably inhibited as a result.

By using a special decalcifying agent, scaling can be removed and the rollers regenerated. It is recommended you discuss with the roller manufacturer which agents are best to ensure roller life is maximised.

For best results it is recommended that a quality water miscible wash such as Superdot Wash WH11 is used to maintain rollers for optimum performance.  Please login Heidelberg Online Shop for product information
