All Lincoln contact coders use disposable Poly-Ink® rolls manufactured by Porelon®. The unique design of Poly-Ink® rolls gives you a clean, sharp impression without the liquid mess of re-inking rolls after each production run.
Rolls snap easily into place, without having to stop the line. You can change the ink roll and adjust the pressure in seconds without ever touching the roll, so you will save cleanup time and downtime. There’s never too much or too little ink.
The ink in a standard roll dries by instant absorption on porous surfaces such as cardboard cartons, boxes, fiber drums, shipping containers, and non-coated papers. We have specialty ink rolls that will dry on many non-porous materials.
Some features of Poly-Ink® rolls are:
- Ink formulas that prevent ink roll dry-out.
- The ink surfaces only when the roll is pressed against the printing die (capillary action).
- Pore Size ranges from 1 to 20 microns, with the smallest pores at the surface and larger pores inside to act as ink reservoirs.
- Available colors: black. red, blue and green are also special order items and prices are higher.
- Disposable
- Non-Hazardous (Rolls for absorbent surfaces only)
