Consumables for presses

For offset presses:

• We supply inks for both conventional and UV applications as well as special colors. These range from CMYK process sets to customized color matches.
• In addition to their protective function, the wide range of Saphira coatings gives products additional refinement and a more aesthetic appeal. You are sure to find the right product for optimal and consistent varnish transfer.
• Saphira blankets ensure precise pressure transmission and trouble-free ink transfer. We offer a very wide range of top-quality blankets for all requirements.
• Because only factory-approved rubber compounds are used to produce Saphira rollers, 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.
• You should also aim for perfection when selecting 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 the Fire product portfolio digital printing systems and put through their paces in sophisticated tasks. They are high quality and supremely cost-effective. Their versatility in terms of applications will make you stand out from the crowd. You can produce a wide range of jobs profitably and still guarantee to satisfy your customer's demands with impressive performance.
