• In addition to their protective function, the wide range of Saphira coatings gives products additional refinement and a more aesthetic appeal.
• Saphira blankets ensure precise pressure transmission and trouble-free ink transfer. We offer a very wide range of top-quality blankets for all requirements.
• Saphira ink and dampening rollers deliver high quality printed results over a long lifespan.
• Saphira pressroom chemicals help achieve high quality printing results. They include washes, fountain solutions, alcohol substitutes, and other press chemicals.
• We also offer ink duct foils, wash-up cloths and spray powders.

For digital presses:

The essential challenge in digital printing is reliably and consistently obtaining the best print quality. Reproducible and comparable results are a must, especially if you want to use both print processes equally.

The products from our Saphira Digital product line have been specially developed for our portfolio of digital printing systems. Their versatility in terms of applications will make you stand out from the crowd.
