 FEATURES & OPTIONS
Shinohara Perfecting System

One of the many examples of Shinohara’s leading edge technology is the Shinohara Perfecting System, which has been developed and refined since
it was first introduced in 1979. It incorporates many patented advances made by Shinohara and offers exceptional register accuracy.
Changeover from straight printing to perfecting is quick and easy.

Tail edge guide system distributes optimum tension across the sheet
The most important factor in any perfecting system is its
ability to control the tail edge of a sheet with one side
already printed. This ensures that the sheet is guided
properly to the next set of grippers. Shinohara employ a
tail edge guide system to ensure superior register
accuracy in the perfecting mechanism. The system is
positioned around the double diameter storage drum so
that it can wrap the sheet around the cylinder efficiently
whilst applying tension to the sheet. Thanks to the guide
system, the tail edge of the sheet is fed into the gripper
properly every time, ensuring consistent paper transport
and reliable accuracy every time.

Master and sub-

gripper system for
excellent registration
The paper transport system in Shinohara’s
perfecting system features a master and
sub gripper system. In normal printing
mode the master grippers handle the sheet
-but during perfecting, a system of sub-
grippers come into play.

14
Plate cocking system with patented technology for excellent accuracy
Shinohara’s patented plate clamp cocking Pre-adjustment Post-adjustment
features a correlative system that enables
fine adjustments to be made to plate
registration without applying undue
pressure to the plate. Plate registration
can be adjusted during printing. The
cocking adjustment range is up to 0.6mm.

SPC Shinohara Semi-Automatic Plate Changer

Shinohara’s SPC offers semi-automatic plate changing at the touch of a button, and requires no
90˚bend and no tools, any operator can change plates quickly and precisely. Plate changeover
takes less than a minute per unit. This speeds press makeready, increases press runtime and
improves overall efficiency.

One-piece
machine bed
In most configurations, Shinohara press
units are constructed with a single machinery
bed. This ensures enhanced stability and consistent
quality over the lifespan of the press.

Print for Packaging

To meet the requirements of today’s print marketplace,
Shinohara has developed a range of specialist features for the Latest generation
packaging sector. Shinohara’s presses can offer a runnable sheet operation console
thickness of up to 0.8mm and utilise hot and cold drying options
Through the use of multiple CPUs,
including interdeck UV which enables the press to print on a wide

production process time and deliver the makeready time. The operation console
provides bar graphs of ink key apertures,

enhances the communications between
operator and press.
15
 Automatic wash up systems
Keeping the blanket cylinders and ink rollers
clean is integral to maintaining printing
quality. Shinohara’s automatic cleaning
systems complete the cleaning operations at
the touch of a button.
Registration system
for high speeds
Superior rigidity of the grippers makes
consistent registration at high speed
possible from feeder through the transfer
units, including perfecting and delivery.
16
Precise delivery control
Shinohara’s air blowers and sheet brakes
ensure accurate paper delivery right down
to the last printed sheet. An optional built-in
infrared dryer can be installed to reduce
time between production processes.
Feeder head based on
advanced technology
A feeder head that meets the need for high
speed production, with minimal adjustments
required when changing sheet size,
ensuring faultless paper feed performance.
Ink temperature control TCPS
Gives printers the ability to run at high
speeds over many hours of continual
production with consistent colour and print
quality. The system utilises a series of water
chilled rollers and is a factory fitted option.
Pre set feeder and
delivery option
Enter paper size and thickness, and the
machine will automatically set various feeder
and delivery positions, plus the appropriate
impression cylinder adjustments.
In-line coating unit
A chamber-type doctor blade creates an
even layer of varnish on the sheet, assuring
high quality coating. The unit also features
automatic preparation and an automatic
washing facility. The entire surface of the
sheet can be coated, or a spot coating can
be applied with a convex resin plate.
Drying systems
For presses with or without an aqueous
coating unit, an infrared (IR) dryer in
combination with a hot air knife can be
installed in the delivery. For presses with a
UV coating unit or UV printing application, a
UV curing system can be installed in the
delivery area and between printing units.
Cold UV curing system
Shinohara presses utilise cold UV drying.
This highly effective drying system can be
used during printing with UV/Hybrid type
inks. This is very important when processing
substrates that are sensitive to heat.
Combination machines can be fitted with
both UV and IR drying systems.

Interdeck UV curing unit 7 O’Clock cylinder arrangement

An interdeck UV curing unit can be installed between the printing units. Shinohara presses (66/75/92) presses use a 7 o’clock cylinder alignment
This reduces problems with trapping when UV/hybrid inks are used. (plate, blanket and impression cylinders), preventing possible gap shock
They can also be used for special types of production, eg plastic. marking. It also assures better ink distribution and ink film thickness.

 S-NET SYSTEM
The S-NET system manages the entire printing process digitally, from prepress colour management and colour control at the printing press,
to the location where the press operates. S-NET creates a seamless workflow that provides high efficiency, high quality and high profitability.
Shinohara CIP station
Shinohara uses CIP3/CIP4 data to automatically preset ink key
apertures to enable fast make ready and reduce waste. The CIP4
option also integrates with your MIS for management information.
SPIS Shinohara Pre-and De-Inking System
The SPIS system increases efficiency and precision while substantially
reducing the time required before production printing can begin, by
creating ink presets with the data from the CIP3/4 station. Using CIP
data, SPIS automatically creates the ideal ink film on the ink rollers
and then starts printing, thus eliminating the need for operators to
adjust ink keys, or to run the press to achieve the proper ink film on
the rollers. SPIS increases efficiency and productivity by comparing
the data for the current job with that for the next job, making it
possible to quickly achieve the appropriate ink coverage.
Consistent print output to meet industrial standards
The most important factor in effective colour management is printing
press stability. So how do we determine if the press is operating in a
consistent, stable manner? A common method is printing a colour
chart and measuring dot gain and colour variation (∆E)
Where should we measure on the sheet in order to get the most meaningful
data on dot gain and colour variation? In most cases, only a small section of
the sheet is measured and analysed. A colour profile is created based on
analysis of the resulting data. Unfortunately with this method, if there is colour
unevenness, the colours of the original (target) and printed product may not
be a satisfactory match.

SCCS Shinohara Colour Control System
SCCS controls ink density, a factor which tends to change when there
are variations in printing conditions. A colour bar on a target sheet
is measured by a scanning system in advance, these values are saved
to SCCS as standard density values. Correction data is sent to the
operation console, the ink keys are adjusted automatically. During
printing, the sheets are scanned periodically and the ink key
apertures are adjusted as necessary. This means that after ink
density values are saved during printing, it’s easy to maintain the
target sheet quality.
Shinohara uses a different method which involves unique printed charts that
are used to diagnose the standardisation of the press. The charts measure 3
different types of grey balance at about 110 points (for 75 series presses). The
system also measures trapping and dot gain, and uses that information to
adjust colour balance more precisely. This method brings the ∆E* on the sheet
to within 2.5 overall, and results in better colour balance across the entire
sheet (patents are pending for portions of this process).
Once printing standardisation is achieved, profile generation and colour
matching follow. Printing press stabilisation is an indispensable part of an
efficient printing environment - not just in terms of colour management, but
in every aspect of printing production.
