PS-21C is a “Closed cup system”. This essentially
means that the ink is stored inside an inverted
“Cup”. The cup is then held to the metal backed
cliché by a powerful magnet (contained inside the
cup). The power of the magnet can be increased or
decreased by simply turning the knurled dial, based
on top of the cup.
The power of the magnet helps to create a good seal
between the cup and the cliché. This ensures that no
air can get into the cup, hence to the ink. This, in
turn, help to reduce any solvents evaporating from
the ink too quickly and also helps to keep the ink
at a constant temperature.
Having used both, the open and closed systems, we
definitely give the “thumbs up” to the closed cup
system (especially for beginners or inexperienced
printers).
With the closed cup, there is also very little
effort required when pulling the handle forwards or
backwards as the cup glides very smoothly over the
cliché. The cup also incorporates a “Ceramic ring”
(With the open ink system a “Doctor Blade” is used
instead) which helps to “scrape” away excess ink and
thus keeps the entire process clean and mess-free.
Ceramic rings are only often found on machines
costing thousands of pounds more - but we bring you
modern technology as standard and without the normal
high costs associated with it.
This image shows
the cliché (and cliché holding device) removed from
the machine and the closed cup being separated from
the cliché. Note how the ink is neatly contained
inside the cup with no mess being created.
