Day International - Hall 3, Booth A88

Day’s flagship brands are DayGraphica, David M, Rotec, and Varn will exhibit the following new technologies and products at Drupa 2004

Day International’s Proprietary Technologies:
NEW! Durazone Compressible Layer—Ideal example of Day’s technology leadership. This proprietary technology produces a revolutionary compressible layer in the printing blanket to dramatically increase the blanket’s durability without sacrificing print quality. Now, printers no longer have to sacrifice quality to get durability. They get the durability plus the superior print quality they’ve come to expect from DayGraphica blankets.
NEW! Apollo Web Conditioning—innovative web conditioning technology that’s effective, user-friendly, and will likely replace the printer’s age-old practice of hand-mixing anti-stat additives and silicones. Printers already using Varn Apollo 900 say that it saves them time and money—it’s so easy to use and extraordinarily effective in eliminating static, marking, and ink smearing.

DayGraphica and David M Printing Blankets:
NEW! Durazone 5000 with Durazone—A heatset web blanket built with the proprietary Durazone compressible layer to absorb damage from web breaks and smashes. A durable, long life blanket that holds gauge to maintain consistent print pressure.
NEW! DayGraphica 5500 with Durazone—For directory and insert web printing. Holds gauge to maintain print pressure. Day’s proprietary Durazone compressible layer provides the stability and rebound needed for high speed printing. Resists piling. Face toughness keeps the presses running. Ideal for stochastic screen work.
NEW! DayGraphica 5010 with Durazone—A heatset web blanket that offers the same extraordinary durability and stability as the 5000 and 5500, and also includes Day’s patented textured surface for quick release and sharp print. You get the best in quality, sharpness of print, durability and longevity.
NEW! dayGraphica 3612—An extraordinarily durable and versatile blanket. designed to handle virtually every printing application: heatset web, commercial sheetfed, and sheetfed packaging.
