K-Printing Proofer (KPP) – Gravure and Flexo Printing Simulation System
Quick and easy-to-use proofing machine
The K-Printing Proofer (KPP) is a professional proofing and print testing system designed to simulate gravure (rotogravure), flexographic, and gravure-offset printing processes in a laboratory environment. It enables the evaluation of ink performance, print quality, and color accuracy prior to production.
With electronically engraved printing plates and adjustable printing speeds of up to 40 m/min, it allows testing under conditions close to real production. This feature ensures reliable and comparable results, especially for ink manufacturers and printing companies.
Offering high precision with micrometric printing and doctoring adjustments (0.01 mm), the KPP allows multiple inks to be applied simultaneously, facilitating comparative testing. This makes it an effective solution for color matching, quality control, and R&D applications.
The K-Printing Proofer can print and laminate on various substrates such as film, cardboard, aluminum foil, and PVC. Its compact benchtop design and solvent-resistant components ensure ease of use and long service life.
Unlike film applicators, the KPP system provides a simulation based on real printing principles, reducing pre-production risks and contributing to process optimization.
- Gravure, Flexo, Gravure-Offset, and Lamination options
- Adjustable print speeds up to 40 m/min for printing with high-viscosity inks
- Suitable for printing or laminating on films, cards, aluminium foil, PVC, and other substrates
- Micrometric control of printing and doctoring settings (0.01 mm) ensures outstanding printability
- Enables side-by-side comparison of two or more inks in a single pass
- Extremely easy to use, with a compact tabletop footprint of only 400 x 500 mm
