IGT High Speed Inking Unit 4

Ultra-fast inking unit for paste inks

Used with all IGT printability testers to quickly add a highly accurate and well defined ink layer to printing discs. With many modern inks drying very quickly, the IGT High Speed Inking Unit 4 has been developed to offer short inking times.

It has a built-in thermostatic bath, to provide a constant temperature for the distribution of inks and pick test oils, to get a constant viscosity of pick test oil and a constant drying behaviour of inks.

Able to ink up to four printing discs simultaneously. The inking time can be reduced to 15 seconds. The operating temperature of 15 to 45°C is created by the internal thermostatic bath, and the settings via the touch screen.

For use with all printability testers	Replaces the old AE-inkers for higher repeatability
Optimal combination with IGT Amsterdam testers	For conventional and UV offset inks
Inking with pick test oils	Temperature controlled inking
Short inking times, fast operation	Up to four discs inked at one time

The IGT High Speed Inking Unit 4 uses two conditioned steel distribution rollers and a rubber top roller, controlled by an internal temperature control unit.

After the unit has distributed the ink evenly, the printing discs are brought in contact with the top roller and inked for the preset time. The printing discs automatically lift from the top roller as soon as the inking time elapses.

There is a transparent top cover and a stainless steel front cover to protect the surroundings and protected by safety switches.
