Special Purpose Rollers

Graphic Printing Roller Ltd. has developed a range of high performance specialty rollers that can improve pressroom performance and reduce long-term costs.

Graphic Web Wrap
Graphic Web Wrap is a unique nylon wrap that ensures your web will ride smoothly over its pin-cushioned surface. A durable, self-adhesive idler covering that is easy to install, Graphic Web Wrap is safer to use than steel or teflon, eliminating the cuts and scrapes inflicted on pressroom personnel. It eliminates idler roller ink buildup, and reduces creasing and wrinkling for fewer breaks and better registration.

Coating Rollers
Graphic Printing Roller manufactures a full range of coating rollers to accommodate the many equipment configurations and coating materials in the printing industry. Whether you require an application or metering roller for an inline tower coater using aqueous or U.V. coatings, or rollers for a dampener coating unit, your rollers must have specific properties to optimize coating performance.

For instance, the unique surface texture of a Komori coating unit requires specialized tooling in the roller manufacturing process. Roller specifications and tolerances are critical to prevent coating buildup and flinging of the coating material. Put Graphic Printing Roller's experience to work for you to optimize the design parameters of your coating unit.

The Rodel Hickey Picker
The Rodel Hickey Picker is an unique ink form roller that removes dirt, ink skin, paper dust and other foreign material from the offset plate to eliminate hickeys and improve quality control. Made from advanced synthetic fibres, plastics and elastomers, the Rodel Hickey Picker is superior to traditional flocked-type rollers in both picking action and dimensional stability. Customers typically report that the Rodel Hickey Picker pays for itself in as little as a month or less, due to the effectiveness and improved quality it produces.

Anti-Ghosting Rollers
Our Anti-Ghosting Rollers can virtually eliminate mechanical ghosting and ink starvation problems by breaking up the patterns that cause ghosting, while providing improved ink-water control and reduced streaking. The Anti-Ghosting Roller is manufactured to extremely high tolerances, ensuring smooth and trouble-free operation. It simply replaces your existing form roller, and can be easily installed by your pressman.
