About
Novatech Products
Novatech brand
dampening materials are designed to meet the
demands of quality conscious printers. Our use
of premium yarn and state-of-the-art production
methods ensure that our products enhance the
operation of the press, the productivity of the
press operator, and the quality of the finished
printed product.
Listed below are
some of the unique features and benefits of our
dampening materials:
 100%
Synthetic Construction:
We use only quality rayon yarn
in the knitting of the pile or surface of our
dampening products. These strong and yet pliable
man-made fibers are continuous in length from
beginning to end. Because rayon yarn consists of
continuous length filaments there can be no
separation of fiber and the resulting lint or
quality problems. The benefits are higher print
quality and more efficient press operation.
The
yarn in lower grade cotton covers consists of
short lengths of cotton known as
"staples". These fibers are loosely
spun together to create a continuous length of
yarn. Unfortunately, these fibers often become
detached from the cover and end up on the
printing plate resulting in lower print quality.
The problem is especially noticeable in areas of
solid coverage, headline type, and halftones.
This fiber contamination also builds-up on the
rollers impeding the proper transfer of ink.
 Sheared
Surface:
Novatech
is the only manufacturer in the USA producing
sheared surface dampening covers. All of our
dampening products undergo an additional
production step which further enhances their
performance.
After
the cover is knit, it is turned right-side-out
to expose the loop surface. Then it is passed
through a shearing machine which precisely cuts
open the tops of the knitted loops. The
resulting plush, velour-like surface provides
even plate contact, increased water
receptivity and balanced distribution.
 Finer
Denier Yarn:
Yarn is manufactured according to a
specification known as "denier". The
higher the denier rating, the greater the number
and the finer the filaments a which make up the
strand of yarn. Our products are knitted with
200 denier yarn meaning there are 200 individual
filaments in each strand. This high fiber count
offers increased water absorption and transfer
as there are more individual filaments to wick
the dampening solution. Most competitive covers
use only 120 or lower denier yarn.
We
not only use finer denier yarn but also knit
more strands of yarn into our covers to
construct a dense, water receptive surface. This
increased surface density allows a balanced film
of water to be transferred to the plate very
quickly. The result is overall improved print
quality with a sharper dot in halftone
reproduction. Since the object of offset
lithography is to print while using the least
amount of water and ink, our covers actually
assist press operators in this goal. Many
pressmen report that they can actually reduce
the water setting on their dampening unit when
running our covers.
 Ease
of Cleaning:
All dampening covers will attract a certain
amount of ink during normal use. The ability to
easily clean this ink off the surface of the
cover can result in improved performance and
extended cover life. Cotton covers are a poor
choice for washability as offset inks are very
difficult, if not impossible, to clean by any
method.
Novatech
brand covers clean easily for two reasons: One,
our sheared surface is free of fiber loops which
commonly trap ink pigment, and, Two, we only use
rayon yarn, a synthetic fiber which naturally
releases ink and cleans well.
Our covers may be cleaned with the use of
ordinary tap water. By simply spraying the
roller with hot water under pressure more than
98% of the ink can be flushed off. The benefit
is extended cover life and reduced cost. It is
not uncommon for Novatech dampening covers to
last 2 to 3 months.
 Improved
Roller Fit:
The base yarn used in the knitting of all
Novatech covers is known as "PVA" or
polyvinyl alcohol. This yarn has the unique
ability to shrink dramatically when wet with
water for the first time. This feature results
in an extremely tight fit of the cover to the
roller. It eliminates bunching, twisting, or
creeping so often associated with cotton covers
which often stretch with use.
Additionally,
our products have the highest shrink ratio of
any cover on the market. An advantage of this
construction is a wider range of roller
diameters that can be fitted by one size cover.
For example, one of our popular roll sizes will
fit the Heidelberg GTO, KOR, KORA, KORD, MO, S
series, and Speedmaster presses. You would need
at least three different sizes of some
competitive covers to properly cover the rollers
on these presses. This versatile sizing results
in lower inventory costs in many cases.
 100%
Guarantee:
All Novatech brand
dampening covers carry a 100% money-back
guarantee. If a customer is unsatisfied for any
reason, Novatech will offer a refund, a credit,
or replace the cover at the dealers option. Our
goal is to produce only premium products that
assist printers in achieving improved quality
and productivity.
