Web printing
September 1st 2007

Brands are readily identifiable by their colours and graphic design, many of which are printed on narrow web presses."Blemishes and inconsistencies such as dust and other debris impregnated in the surface of a printed product are unacceptable," says Hunter Paterson, product manager. He suggests that the NWP developed by TEKNEK can deal with both contaminants and static. In operation, a specially formulated elastomer roller runs in contact with the web, penetrating the boundary layer of air, which noncontact systems cannot reach. The elastomer roller removes all particles down to microscopic sizes, which are then transferred to a precision engineered, presheeted adhesive roll, where they are permanently trapped.
