Pressroom chemistry with inbuilt added value
If rollers are the heart of the printing process, the fountain solution – along with the ink – is its lifeblood. For all dampening systems, paper and printing ink qualities Böttcher developed a range of fountain solution additives, which technically and economically make optimal results possible.…
Special coatings
ProColora ink rollers and GoldenPearl vibrators prevent any ingress of ink components into the rollers and are much easier to clean than conventional roller coverings, significantly reducing make-ready times. They also help you print saleable copy more rapidly, minimize start-up waste and help with conformance to ISO…
The future of flexography - direct laser engraving
The developments in the area of direct laser engraving open new possibilities to flexographic printing with regard to quality and cost-efficiency. It's not only the print subject - endless or not endless - which decides today on the use of endless printing forms. Waste paper on start, register…
Components for digital printing: Rollers, seamless belts
Digital printing technologies: Inkjet, Solid Ink Jet, Electrophotography
The most common technologies in digital printing are: Inkjet-Printing, Electrophotography with toner, also called laser printing or LED-printing and Solid Ink Jet, a variant of inkjet printing with a waxy “ink”. By…
Optimal disposal of rubber wastes
Tons of rubber wastes, which come up inevitably in large quantities during the roller recovering process, place us before particularly large challenges. The disposal of this waste rubber is made by certified specialized enterprises and used thermally for the generation of energy and for cement production.

Sleeves
The advantages of the sleeve technology have been used for decades in the graphic industry - especially flexographic printing and gravure printing. The use of sleeves is also part of everyday life during further processing and finishing (coating, laminating). For a number of years now, you have also entered the field of technical…
