The IGT AE Four inking unit is the modern successor of the renowned IGT AE inking unit. It is used to apply offset inks in a reproducible and constant ink film thickness on to the printing formes (discs) of the IGT Printability Testers. It is possible to distribute up to four different inks or ink film thicknesses at the same time.
The discs can be used with the IGT Printability Testers AIC2-5 2000 and all version of the IGT Global Standard Testers. On request the instrument is also suitable for all older versions of the IGT printability testers.
Applications
- Use with the modern IGT printability testers type AIC2-5 2000 and Global Standard Testers
- Use with older types of IGT printability testers such as the A1, A2, AIC2
- Inking with conventional offset inks
- Inking with UV curing offset inks
- Inking with IGT pick test oils and pick test inks
- Inking with offset inks and all types of practical offset inks
- Inking up to 4 colours, inks or ink films at the same time

Operation
The IGT AE Four inking unit consists of a top roller and two steel distribution rollers. THe top roller can be used to ink a maximum of four printing discs. The inking speed can be set at either 0.3 or 0.6 m/s.
After the unit has distributed the ink evenly the printing discs are brought into contact with the top roller and inked during the desired time. After this time the discs are lifted electrically. After the test the unit can be cleaned quickly because of good accessibility.
IGT Ink Pipette
The IGT Ink Pipette is required to apply the ink to the top roller. The ink pipette significantly increases the accuracy of the ink application and therefore the results of the test.
