Perretta Graphics D100 Decorator Ink & Ductor Control

There are numerous benefits to the Perretta Graphics system over the OEM inkers currently installed on decorators.​

• Easy to Learn – The Perretta Graphics system is intuitive and easy to use. New hires can set salable color with minimal training. 

• Reduced Manpower Needs – Manpower can be allocated to other labor-intensive operations during a label change.

• Increased Safety – Ink keys are adjusted remotely through a touchscreen HMI, meaning that the operator has less interaction with the moving parts of a running decorator.

• More Ergonomic – The touchscreen HMI is located directly at the blow-off chute. 

• Auto Learning – Adapts to changing decorator conditions that operators are not aware of, and becomes more accurate over time. 

• Enables Quick Label Change – The ease of use and precision of the Perretta Graphics system eliminates common bottlenecks in the label change process. This extends to “lifts”, allowing the operators to quickly reload previous jobs when required. 

• Faster Wash-up Between Runs – Quickly adjust ink keys in order to give operators full access to the inkers during wash-up procedures. 

• Increased Fountain Roller Longevity – The Perretta Graphics fountain blade does not contact the fountain roller, thus reducing the heat and wear of the roller.

• Less Damage to Equipment – Operators no longer need to use wrenches to manually adjust color, completely eliminating damage to the equipment that is caused by dropped wrenches.

• Reduced Ink Leakage – Less maintenance and downtime due to ink leakage between ink key segments and cheeks over traditional decorator inkers. 

• Reduced Hold-for-Inspections – High zonal control and less misting result in cleaner and more accurate printing, reducing the number of Hold-for-Inspections required. 

• Less Maintenance – Perretta Graphics rebuilds damaged fountain blades, allowing plant employees to focus on other needs. 

• Material Savings – Faster label change times and more precise ink key control create less waste, translating into material savings in both aluminum and ink. 

• Value – Typical ROI on a commercial printing installation is less than 2 years.
