Monitoring Solvent Usage Via The Web And On PCs
The AW Company has developed a Solvent Usage Monitoring System (SUM).
The NTR 112tf has been developed by coating a new formulation release face on the specially designed durable carcass of the previous NTR 112 Publisher blanket, said the company.
The print surface meets the rigorous demands of a modern newspaper pressroom and it provides longer blanket life, less downtime and better printing quality on press, said Novurania.
The new NTR 112rf reduced feed blanket, with dual zone compressible construction, is designed to control web tension and colour registration on tower presses.
Closed-cell compressible layers enable the blanket to achieve precise and even printing pressure across the entire printing surface with maximum smash resistance and quicker rebound, it is claimed.
Paul Kirton, technical manager of newspaper blankets for Novurania, said: "The difference from what is on the market is that this blanket is designed to provide a low feed to control web tension on towers, but also to have the blanket life and resistance to wrap-ups and smashes.
It complements our positive feed blankets." The new NTR 104 has taken two years to develop.
Novurania said that the NTR104 has a completely new face compound, moving away from the usual traditional compounds used in blanket technology.
The benefits are a superior surface resistance to abrasion and swelling caused by inks and washing agents based on mineral or vegetable oils.
It is claimed to produce optimum dot sharpness, brilliant ink transfer and provide longer durability thanks to reduced gauge loss, as well as better smash and edge cutting or marking resistance.
The company also claimed that the blanket is easier to fit because if its flexible carcass, it does not sink at the cylinder gap over the entire print job and it has low heat build-up at high impression frequencies.
The company commented that there is a reduction of gauge loss in continuous printing (sinking) which is usually caused by air being pressed out of the fabric plies.
Novurania said that it eliminates the problem before it gets to the press by treating the fabric with special processes more associated with building rubber dinghies than blankets, squeezing any air out in the production process.
