Page 6: Indexing & Non-Indexing Models
Universal’s Non-Porous Inking System is compatible with a wide range of alcohol base marking inks. Although we offer a variety of inks for specific applications, you are not restricted to using only Universal brand inks. When selecting inks from other manufacturers however, it is your responsibility to make sure the inks are compatible with the coder. -
Page 7: Printing Dies
FIGURE 3 METRIC RIBtype® PRINTING DIES Universal also offers Metric RIBtype® die systems for use in countries where metric character sizes are the standard. The Metric dies are thicker and the rib spacing differs slightly from the standard printing dies therefore the two versions are not compatible. -
Page 8: Ink Rolls
SPECIFICATIONS INK ROLLS Universal offers two ink roll options for the HPL Non-Porous Hand Printers. Each has a unique characteristic suitable for a specific printing application. The printers are designed to accommodate both types of ink rolls without modification. A detailed review of your printing requirements will determine the best choice of ink rolls for your particular application. -
Page 9: Quick Start
PRE-INKING XF NEOPRENE INK ROLLS Universal HPL Non-Porous Hand Printers are shipped from the factory fully assembled and, unless otherwise specified, includes a dry XF Neoprene Ink Roll. The initial inking of any dry roll is critical to the preformance of the Printer. -
Page 10: Installing The Pre-Inked Roll
QUICK START Warning: Non-Porous inks contain flammable solvents. Do not smoke or handle these rolls in the presence of sparks or open flames. Inks will also stain clothing, furniture, carpeting and your hands. Rubber gloves should be worn during the following procedures. The ink roll you install on the coder must be properly pre-inked. - Page 11 QUICK START 4 - Remove the Knurled Drive Wheel “E”. The Knurled Drive Wheel rests on top of the Transfer Roll “G”. The Transfer Roll has 3 stainless, protruding drive pins which fit through 3 mating holes in the Knurled Drive Wheel “E”.
- Page 12 QUICK START 8 - Install the ink roll on the Ink Roll Axle by aligning the end of the rod or pencil with the end of the axle and pushing the roll onto the axle. When this step is complete, remove the rubber gloves to prevent ink contamination with the external parts of the coder.

QUICK START 12 - Replace the Cover Retaining Knob “C” and lightly tighten. Do not over tighten this knob or you may bend the top of the Drive Wheel Cover “B” and cause it to bind against the Knurled Drive Wheel. The Cover Retaining Knob should be just tight enough to keep the Inking System Assembly together and prevent the Drive Wheel Cover from rotating out of... -
Page 14: Adjusting The Ink Roll / Die Face Contact Pressure
QUICK START ADJUSTING THE TRANSFER ROLL / DIE FACE CONTACT PRESSURE The pressure the transfer roll exerts on the face of the printing dies should be just enough to rotate the transfer roll and completely ink the face of the dies as they pass during printing. Excessive contact pressure will cause smudging of the impression, and restriction of the print drum rotation. -
Page 15: Printing Die Positioning For Indexing Applications
QUICK START PRINTING DIE POSITIONING FOR INDEXING APPLICATIONS Non-indexing models of the HPL Non-Porous Hand Printers do not offer print registration capabilities, therefore mounting the printing dies at a specific location on the print drum is not important. On indexing machines, the position of the die on the print drum will determine the location of the print on the carton. -
Page 16: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE CLEANING THE TRANSFER ROLL The surface of the transfer roll is made from DuPont Delrin material and the O.D. of the roll is finely engraved which enables it to hold a uniform film of ink. This surface material is very fragile and under no circumstances should you attempt to clean it with anything abrasive. -
Page 17: Cleaning The Printing Dies
MAINTENANCE CLEANING THE PRINTING DIES All inks which are formulated for printing on non-porous surfaces contain a resin binder which bonds the dye or pigment in the ink to the surface of the material being printed. As the ink begins to dry, this binder becomes “tacky”... -
