Specifications

Why Replace the Ink Roller Gear?

The ink roller gear is a critical component in the Heidelberg ink train, transferring precise rotational motion to the ink rollers. Worn or damaged gear teeth can cause uneven ink distribution, ghosting, or inconsistent colour density across the sheet. Replacing this part at the first sign of wear protects your print quality and extends the life of surrounding roller components.
