GRAPHIC ARTS: Nip Pressure Indicator

Print quality depends on best possible transfer of the ink and water emulsion - from the plate cylinder, to the blanket and finally the paper.


Quick measurement of nip pressure between cylinders, rather than the height of the blanket, which is an indirect measurement.

Monitor how the nip pressure changes, with diferent underpackings and blanket compressibility
