Newman Automatic Press Flood Bars
Newman Flood Bars rotate the ink in a tight circle at high speed. This redirects and injects the ink directly downward into the millions of small mesh orifices. The ink's own velocity is now filling all of the open orifices with almost no friction or pressure from the flood bar onto the mesh. The Newman Flood Bar can successfully move ink at 2 to 3 times normal speeds. This is due to the redirection of the ink's energy and the relatively large ink contact surface area of these new flood bars.
Now that the squeegee does not have to flood the mesh orifices, it simply can do its own job of ink adherence and transfer. This permits the squeegee to dramatically reduce its pressure and increase its speed while also gaining enhanced image brightness, detail, and coverage.
The ink is rotated at high speed & is injected downward into the mesh orifices. The ink's velocity quickly does the work without "mesh to flood bar pressure". As the ink rotates it track's straight down the screen with little spillage out to the sides reducing the need to "card" the ink back into the image area. In addition, water & solvent evaporation is reduced from their respective inks. The lower the screen tension, the slower the relative printing speed, quality, and consistency. Due to differences in printing applications, ink viscosities, marketing, and aesthetic opinions, it is recommended that you experiment to determine which of the Newman Flood Bars or combination of the Newman Flood Bars will give you your optimum desired speed and quality results.
Designed to fit Anatol, M&R, or other presses that use industry standard mounting rails.
