Calling all PrintPlaneteers,
As many of you already know, I have been looking for a small printer in the Toronto area to demonstrate my ITB (Ink Transfer Blade) technology and make the results public. Not too much luck yet with any printers.
The ITB technology is very inexpensive but fundamentally changes the process by making the ink feed independent of numerous variables such as water, temperature and press speed. The result is consistent print density and no ink/water balancing.
Interestingly, a Chinese press manufacturer, Hans-Gronhi, has recently located its North American sales office in Toronto. The General Manager of Hans-Gronhi in Toronto is Grace Gao. I emailed Grace to inform her of the ITB and she replied that there might be some interest.
Grace probably thinks I am crazy and that is probably true, but a very low cost technology to correct the density variation problem in an offset press could have a perfect fit for a press manufacturer that is aiming to provide low cost technology to North America and other markets.
Grace probably thinks there would be no interest in solving this problem. This is where your help comes in.
If you are curious in knowing if the ITB actually works, then maybe sending an email to Grace would help.
Just some short comment like,
“I too would like to see the ITB tested and its results.” or some other comment.
Grace Gao’s email is: [email protected]
Maybe if she gets a few emails, she will also become more curious.
Thanks for you help.
Erik
P.S. If Heidelberg, Manroland or KBA want to email Grace to suggest that she does not have the ITB tested, that’s OK too.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
