  • Page 5: Printing Dies

    RIBtype® PRINTING DIES Universal Non-Porous Web printers are designed to use RIBtype® printing dies which have a molded rib backing. The ribs on the back of the die snap into mating ribs in the Drum Cover on the print drum. The printing dies are produced in many standard character styles and sizes and are available in sets containing a combination of individual alphabetic and numeric characters or in sets containing numeric characters only.

  • Page 6: Quick Start

    QUICK START INSTALLING THE PRINTER When choosing a location for the installation of the printer, several issues should be considered: 1 - It is always best to install the printer in a location that is free from dust and other contaminates which can cause degredation of the print quality.

  • Page 7: Preparing The Printer For Installation Of The Ink Roll

    QUICK START The WPNP-400NI-12-PIDS Non-Porous Web Printers are designed for top mount installation to print on continuous non-porous web materials. To prepare the printer for use, the following steps should be followed. PREPARING THE PRINTER FOR INSTALLATION OF THE INK ROLL The WPNP-400NI-12-PIDS Printers have been designed with an easily removable inking system.
  • Page 8 QUICK START 4 -Swing the Inking System Locking Assembly to the left (counter-clockwise) as shown in fig 7. FIGURE 7 5 -The Inking System can be removed for off-line installation of the Ink Roll by grasping the Inking System Assembly by the lifting tab and pulling the Inking System out of the machine.

  • Page 9: Preparing The Ink Roll For Installation

  • Page 10: Installing The Ink Roll

    QUICK START 2 -Put on the rubber gloves and carefully cut the end of the bag open and remove the Ink Roll using the rod or screwdriver. Pre-Inked Rolls are intentionally over-saturated to prolong storage life. There may be a small amount of liquid ink in the bag when it is opened so be careful handling the opened bag after the roll is removed.
  • Page 11 QUICK START 3 -Carefully guide the Cover Assembly onto the Inking System being careful not to scratch the surface of the Anilox roll in the process. FIGURE 18 4 -When the cover assembly is properly positioned against the Inking System Assembly, replace the Knurled Drive Wheel.

  • Page 14: Pre-Inking The Xf Neoprene Ink Roll

    QUICK START PRE-INKING A NEW XF NEOPRENE INK ROLL Note: Dry rolls must be pre-inked before using the PIDS System. Warning: Non-Porous Inks contain flammable solvents. Do not smoke or handle these rolls in the presence of sparks or open flames. These inks will also stain clothing, furniture, carpeting and your hands. We recommend wearing rubber gloves and an apron during the following procedures.

  • Page 15: Basic Principles Of Operation

    The ink never touches any of the pumps component parts so maintenance is limited to replacing the pump tube after approximately 1,000 hours of operation. Universal’s quick disconnect replacement pump tube assembly, facilitates pump tube changes in less than 10 seconds.

  • Page 16: Encoder Sensor For Digital Models

    BASIC PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION ENCODER SENSOR FOR DIGITAL MODELS The WPNP-400NI-12-PIDS-D Digital Printer has been modified to work with Universal’s new PIDS-DIGITAL-CE Programmable Ink Delivery System. The PIDS Control System requires an encoder signal from the printer to track web velocity and to enable programming based on web distance traveled. To eliminate the need to install a separate, friction driven encoder on the moving web, a simple low resolution encoder assembly has been installed on the printer.

  • Page 17: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE ADJUSTMENT OF THE INDUCTIVE PROXIMITY SENSOR The inductive proximity sensor has been properly installed, adjusted and tested at the factory prior to shipment and no further adjustment should be required. If for any reason the sensor needs to be readjusted, please read the following instructions carefully.

  • Page 18: Cleaning The Printer

    MAINTENANCE CLEANING THE PRINTER 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 19: 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” or “sticky”.
