Faster make-ready and accurate color

With servomotors to control the ink-keys, the press operator at the console uses a touch screen to make ink adjustments in seconds. Even operators with limited pressroom experience complete color make-ready with precision in record time, minimizing wasted material and reducing unproductive press time. Digital con-trol makes it possible to preset the keys [optional feature] based on the prepress information to even further reduce make-ready time.

Maximum Quality

Control ink thickness within 0.00001” (0.025mm) with an intuitive 0-99 key setting. Laser-cut, sharp-edged, fully segmented blades allow maximum diff erence in ink coverage between adjacent zones, hold color calibration accurately, and have no sliding components or leak points that can develop problems over time. Servomotors are modular and self-diagnostic, able to tell the operator if a stiff key or other problem is preventing the intended movement.

Flexible Design

With designs for over 750 diff erent presses, and thousands of successful installations worldwide, Mercury can be confi gured to your needs.
