Manual printing color wheel

The manual print color wheel evenly applies ink onto test substrates by manually rotating the wheel, simulating the printing process. It is used to inspect ink color, opacity, and transfer effects, commonly employed for color matching and proofing in printing plants and ink laboratories.
Selection
When selecting, consider that the roller material must be corrosion-resistant, the width should match commonly used substrates, and the mesh specifications should correspond to the printing process. The hardness of the rubber roller affects color uniformity, ease of cleaning impacts usage efficiency, and it should be compatible with the viscosity range of existing inks.
