Controlling ink-water balance is key to consistent printing. With Rogers Dampening Sleeves, you’ll get that control, along with the latitude you need for consistent, high quality results on press.
Since cloth covers usually start out flooded, you have to run waste sheets to achieve the proper ink-water balance.
But Rogers Dampening Sleeves give you precise water control, right from the start. With Rogers’ unique pore system, each sleeve allows only the exact amount of water to be absorbed and released. The pores also retain moisture to resist dry-out during shut-down.
Rogers Dampening Sleeves are easy to mount and prepare for press. You simply slide the sleeve over the dampening form roller and flush with water. In minutes, the sleeve shrinks to a tight fit. Unlike cloth covers, Rogers dampening sleeves do not need to be sewn or tied into place.
Each Rogers Dampening Sleeve is made of interlocked, nonwoven fibers that won’t work loose. So there’s no lint, and no need for run-in. And you won’t have to stop the press to remove trapped particles.
The nonwoven fibers in a Rogers Dampening Sleeve won’t trap greasy ink. So clean-up and color changes are easy.
You simply wipe the sleeve’s surface with Rogers Cleaner Conditioner and rinse. The residual ink is quickly washed away, so you can change ink colors without changing sleeves.
This not only saves you time. It also means less waste caused by color carry-over and ink contamination.
Rogers Dampening Sleeves are available for commercial and duplicator presses.
