New Press in the Pinelands
The Ryobi 524GE came with lots of automated features, including auto blanket washing and ink roller cleanup, and a semi-automatic plate changer.
"It uses very little blanket wash," remarks Amitrano.
The plate register remote control quickly makes adjustments of the image position in increments of 0.01 mm. Program inking automatically supplies ink to ink rollers to match the image from the start of printing. After the preset number of prints is finished, the ink on the rollers is automatically restored to an even state. Ink Volume Setter software can calculate image area ratio from prepress data.
