Tag Archives: Dampening System

The three roller Kompac Dampening that we use in our Autoprint machine has taken our color printing at another level. Printing of solids and other complicated jobs proved to be quite a disaster previously. The conventional dampening with cloth is not at all advised while going for color. This dampening causes huge color shifting from sheet to sheet and scum is also a problem. The Kompac II with the color mate removes these problems. As for now we don’t have any scum problem in the printing and sheets dry quicker. Color shifting from sheet to sheet has also been greatly reduced and we don’t have problem printing of solid areas even though our machine has only two ink form rollers. The stress that the machine operator used to have has also been reduced. Now there is quick ink and water balance in the machine. The dampening system is compatible with all Autoprint 15×20 machines. The price from Autoprint is around Rs. 120,000/-
