Challenge 2: Ink/water balance

Though you wouldn't know it from the multitude of awards the company has garnered, Bert-Co Graphics does come up against its share of printing difficulties. President Chuck Stay maintains, "It's not just ink we're trying to control, it's also water."

That delicate dampening balance is achieved on Bert-Co's new MAN Roland 900 through a combination of press components. A sophisticated inking unit, providing fast reaction and stable ink feed, is paired with the Roland Deltamatic dampener, which removes hickeys from the plate.
