Note

The
following setting values refer to a

press
with inking and dampening system
rollers
at working temperature
(di


rectly
after completing a print job). If

the
press is cold, you should set the

rollers
to the lower limit of the toler
ance range, since the width of the con 40.5mm 
tact area increases when the rollers

heat up.
Example: For a 4 p0.5 mm width of
contact area you should set the width
of the contact area to 3.5 mm.
