(Reference) 1. The roller arrangement that connects the ink roller section and water roller section with the bridge
roller (No.6) is called the "Integrated mode" and the one that separates the bridge roller from the ink
roller section is called the "Separated mode".
2. The press with the ink oscillating form roller
The ink oscillating form roller micro-oscillates to keep the ink film on the plate uniform to assure
stable quality especially when printing images on which ghosts may be problem.
3. The press with the oscillating bridge roller
The oscillating bridge roller micro-oscillates to prevent ink emulsification to assure stable quality
especially when printing small images during the long run printing.
4. The press with the R-matic-D
The R-matic-D removes the hickeys including paper dust and ink dust from the plate surface by
slipping the water form roller on the plate cylinder.
Therefore, if printing in the "Integrated mode", scumming will easily occur. To prevent this, shift the
bridge roller changeover lever up and printing should be done in the "Separated mode".
(Note) Precaution for use
On presses with the R-matic-D during very long print runs, if the water form roller slip mode
is constantly "ON", the printing image on the plate may wear out. (The degree of wearing
differs depending on plate types and plate manufacturer.) Furthermore, we found it may
be possible that ink does not transfer from the printing plate to sheet properly if printing
continues even longer.
When printing 10,000 sheets or more using the R-matic-D with the water form roller slip
mode "ON", check the condition of the plate and printing quality during printing more
carefully.

 2) Blanket cleaning unit

First, third, fifth unit

Second, fourth, sixth unit

DANGER
1. The cleaning cloth is per-soaked with flammable cleaning agent.
Rolls completely sealed a package have no risk of explosion because there is no volatility, but
contacting the cleaning cloth to open flame may cause it to ignite.
The storage area of the cleaning cloth should be away from any open flame.
2. For the press with the dryer, after the blanket cleaning is completed, confirm that the blanket surface is
dry.
If the cleaning agent remains on the blanket, the first sheet of the next job absorbs the cleaning agent
and may catch fire in the dryer.
3. When disposing of the used cleaning cloth, there is the same risk of fire as when handling the cleaning
cloth, so please be careful. Never leave the used cleaning cloth near an open flame.

CAUTION
The cleaning agent used for the cleaning cloth remains on the skin for a long time because it is not volatile.
When the cleaning agent contacts the skin, wipe it off immediately with a dry cloth or paper and wash your
hands with soap.
