K Printing Proofer - RK Print

Product Description

The K Printing Proofer from RK Print produces high quality proofs instantly using gravure, gravure-offset or flexo inks. Using electronically engraved printing plates, it lets printers, converters and ink manufacturers reproduce press-quality results in the laboratory, so colour and print performance can be evaluated long before a production run.

Almost any flexible substrate can be printed or laminated on the proofer, and its compact 400 x 500 mm footprint makes it an ideal bench-top tool for research, quality control and presentation work.

Performance

Variable printing speeds of up to 40 m/min mean inks can be run at viscosities close to those used on a production press, giving proofs that closely match the final printed result. Micrometer control delivers excellent printability and repeatability, while multiple ink samples can be printed simultaneously for direct comparison. The resulting proofs are suitable for computer colour matching or spectrophotometer readings.

The proofer is easy to operate and clean, and all parts are solvent resistant for reliable use with solvent-based inks.

Applications

  • Research and development
  • Computer colour matching
  • Quality control of print and ink performance
  • Production of presentation samples

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the K Printing Proofer used for?
The K Printing Proofer produces high quality proofs instantly using gravure, gravure-offset or flexo inks. It is used for research and development, computer colour matching, quality control, presentation samples and spectrophotometer readings, letting printers and ink makers evaluate print results before going to press.
Which printing processes and substrates does it support?
The proofer works with gravure, gravure-offset and flexo inks using electronically engraved printing plates. Almost any flexible substrate can be printed or laminated, making it suitable for a wide range of packaging and converting applications.
How fast can the K Printing Proofer print?
It offers variable printing speeds up to 40 m/min. The high speeds allow the use of inks at viscosities close to those used on a production press, so proofs better represent the final printed result.
How does it ensure print quality and repeatability?
Micrometer control gives excellent printability and consistent results. Multiple ink samples can be printed simultaneously for direct side-by-side comparison, and the proofs are suitable for computer colour matching or spectrophotometer readings.
How large is the unit and is it easy to maintain?
The K Printing Proofer has a compact footprint of 400 x 500 mm, so it fits on a laboratory bench. It is easy to operate and clean, and all parts are solvent resistant for long service life with solvent-based inks.
