The kit consists of: a smooth flat plate,a steel measuring bar and plunger forobtaining an accurate predeterminedvolume of ink, a steel spatula for fillingthe measuring bar and pipe cleaners forcleaning the holes in the measuring bar.
The roller assembly includes either astandard hand roller, used with heat setinks, or a special roller (with EDPMRubber), used with UV inks. The roller isused to distribute the ink on the plate andmake a proof.
Quickly accomplished, use the handyguide to determine the amount of inkrequired for the press and paper stock tobe used. Put the required amount in theholes in the measuring bar and then pushink out onto the surface of the roller. Theink is then rolled out onto the plate untilevenly distributed on entire surface ofplate and roller. The inked-up roller isthen rolled out on the desired paperstock. This shows exactly what color yourpress will print with the ink being tested.
Quickpeek assists the color matcher in achieving an accurate color match and providesthe production laboratory with an inexpensive fool-proof method of determining that thecolor and strength of the ink being manufactured is correct.
