ABDick 9985 Offset Press

Suitable for spot, multi and process color printing, the ABDick 9985 is a true two color offset press equipped with an array of features that simplify operation and consistently deliver high quality output. Excellent reproduction can be achieved with a minimum of operator skills.

The 9985 press features two easily accessible individual printing heads. Each can be operated independently for single color work or simultaneously for two-color applications. Each printing head incorporates 16 inking rollers including 3 form rollers of differing diameters. The “stepless” inking and dampening system allows maximum quality control of the printed image. A Crestlineฎ dampener is also available on the 9985.

A built-in microcomputer provides centralized push-button control of many press functions. Additionally, at the end of a specified run length, all machine functions are automatically returned to the start position to maximize productivity.

Dampening, inking, image transfer and paper feed are controlled by a single lever which automatically returns to the initial position and stops the press when the preset number of sheets have been printed.

Fine adjustments make a noticeable difference in printing quality. The 9985 allows for precise adjustment of the vertical image. Blanket cleaning is not required after vertical adjustment which reduces make-ready time. In addition, lateral image adjustments can be made ‘on the fly’ – another time-saving feature.

Twelve suction feet combined with air blowers on the paper pile ensure accurate paper feeding at low to high speeds with stock ranging from onionskin to cover weight. A double sheet detection/elimination feature automatically diverts doubles to a receiving tray without interrupting the press run. The alternate side-to-side push guide allows paper to be registered to a common edge when printing on both sides of the sheet – perfect for work-and-turn jobs.

The 9985 press accepts sheets up to 13-3/8" x 17-3/4" (340 x 451mm) with an image area of 13" x 17-1/4" (330 x 438mm). Print full-bleed 11" x 17" (279 x 432mm) jobs with plenty of room for register marks.

The printing heads feature a unique five-cylinder configuration. The design incorporates two plate cylinders and two blanket cylinders. Separate blanket cylinders ensure there’s no ink migration to provide consistent color throughout the run. A double surface impression cylinder allows both colors to be printed without a gripper change to ensure excellent registration. In addition, a separate transfer cylinder ensures accurate paper registration.
