Platen Grinding in Progress
Platen Grinding in Progress
Many questions are asked about the platen (roller), the heart of the paper feed and printing mechanism.
Over time, the platen’s surface loses its ability to grip, especially envelopes. The rubber compound becomes harder with age affecting the print quality as well as correction. Print quality also suffers due to the shock of the print mechanism hitting the hardened surface.
In the past, it was standard practice to replace the platen annually; however, with increasing labor costs, platen replacement has been neglected. Most machines that come in for repair need the platen replaced.
We manufacture platens using a compound that has excellent paper gripping qualities. This compound also minimizes shock damage to the print mechanism.
Surely it is cost effective to replace the platen while the machine is dismantled for service or repair, since the charge is only for the platen.
