Materials for printing press rollers

What materials are printing press rollers made of?

Printing press rollers are typically made of a range of materials, including rubber, polyurethane, and other polymers. The specific material used will depend on the specific application and requirements of the roller.

For example, rubber rollers are commonly used for water-based inks, while polyurethane rollers are often used for solvent-based inks. Polymer rollers are also used, as they offer a combination of durability, flexibility, and resistance to various types of inks and solvents.

Some rollers may also have a metal core, which provides added strength and stability, while others may have a foam core, which offers additional cushioning and shock absorption.

In general, the choice of material will depend on factors such as the type of ink or solvent being used, the type of printing process, and the specific requirements of the printing press and its environment.
