Rollers / Trucks / Cores |
Our rubber rollers are made from a soft compound that will not shrink or swell. We have received rave reviews for our Vinylith rollers from our customers and are very impressed with their performance on our own presses. Vinylith rollers offer superb ink distribution resulting in uniform coverage and greater ink efficiency with the longevity of standard rubber rollers. We agree with the discriminating professionals who have converted to Vinylith: these are the best letterpress rollers on the market. Before You Ship Your Rollers...Please check with us before shipping rollers. As a rule, it is less expensive to furnish new cores for Kelsey and C&P rollers. We recover Heidelberg, Kluge, and Vandercook cores. In addition, it is strongly advised not to ship rollers in wooden boxes, as these will invariably be damaged in transit. UPS also charges an additional fee to handle wood boxes. We maintain a stock of new cores at our roller makers for C&P, Heidelberg, Kluge, and some Vandercook presses, but not for table top presses--those are all custom manufactured (Sigwalt,Golding, etc.). Roller WashDo not use gasoline, kerosene, benzene, mineral spirits (paint thinner) or similar petroleum distillates on any roller supplied by us, except for composition rollers. A water-miscible roller wash, which we sell, or that can be obtained from any other source, is the only recommended cleaner for the synthetic rubber compounds currently being used. Our traditional letterpress solvents are too harsh on these rollers and will cause premature failure, swelling, pitting, etc. Water miscible means that water can be mixed with the cleaner to reduce the strength and aid in the removal of paper fibers and paper coatings on offset presses. Use of any cleaner other than standard roller washes voides all warranties on new rollers. New rollers may last many years if proper care is taken with them. |
