Rubber plate color display instrument ZY-ZSY01

Introduction to the use of color display instrument：

ZY-ZSY01 rubber plate color display instrument, also known as color display machine, ink color display instrument, color matching instrument, sampling machine, printing adaptability instrument, etc; Color display instrument is a core equipment used for ink testing in printing, packaging, and ink enterprises. It simulates the working principle of printing machines and supports various processes such as offset printing, gravure printing, and flexographic printing, adapting to ordinary ink, UV ink, and different substrates (paper, plastic film, etc.)

Standard basis:

GB/T 8941、ISO2813、ISO 2469、ISO 9416、GB/T 7973、GB/T 7974 、GB/T 12911、GB/T7706、ASTM D 6531

The ink color analyzer mainly has seven functions: spot color sampling, four-color ink detection, providing customers with pre press spot color approval, detecting the degree of color change of dry and wet ink, using it in conjunction with an ink quantification instrument, data management, and cooperating with relevant instruments to predict the characteristics of ink wear resistance, fading, transfer, and light and heat resistance.

The core advantages of the rubber plate sampling machine are:

Automatic ink mixing, stable operation, precision machining.
The ink mixing time and speed can be set.
The printing pressure and speed can be adjusted, with three levels of printing speed: low, medium, and high
Ink uniformity speed: low, medium, high, with 3 settings, can produce 4 colors per sample.
Suitable for spot color sampling of printing offset ink, with 4 primary color zones and 4 light color zones, making it easier to compare colors and convenient to use.
Use a spectrophotometer to measure color, including ink hue, dryness, wetness, glossiness, and Lab value.

Q1: What is an Offset Proofer and why is it essential for the printing industry?

A: An Offset Proofer, also known as an Automatic Ink Proofer, is a laboratory instrument that simulates the actual offset printing process. It is essential because it allows ink manufacturers and printers to test ink color, density, and printability on specific substrates without stopping the massive production presses, significantly saving time, ink, and paper costs.

Q2: How does the machine ensure color accuracy and repeatability?

A: Our Offset Proofer utilizes a microcomputer-controlled system to manage the three critical variables of printing: Speed, Pressure, and Ink Volume. By precisely controlling the distribution speed and printing pressure , the machine ensures that every color sample is consistent, enabling high-precision color matching and IGT-style printability testing.

Q3: Can I use this proofer for UV inks and different types of paper?

A: Absolutely. Our Automatic Ink Proofer is compatible with standard offset inks, UV inks, and vegetable-based inks. It can perform proofs on various substrates, including coated paper, offset paper, cardboard, and even some specialty films, making it a versatile tool for packaging and commercial printers.

Q4: How easy is it to clean the ink distribution rollers?

A: We prioritize efficiency in the lab. The ink distribution rollers and printing discs are designed for quick removal or easy access. A complete cleaning cycle typically takes less than 2-3 minutes using standard cleaning solvents, allowing for rapid color changes and high-throughput testing during the color matching process.
