MicroChek Press

INKING SYSTEM
The traditional ink fountain is replaced by a two-roller system that continuously mills the ink. Simple ink adjustments are made electronically from the micro-processor control pad. Each form roller has its own oscillator roller to ensure a uniform flow of ink. Once adjusted, this unique setup requires little or no operator intervention.

COMMON IMPRESSION CYLINDER
The common impression cylinder holds the press sheet with the same set of grippers for offset printing and numbering, ensuring positive registration between offset printing, gothic numbering and MICR encoding.

PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLS
The microprocessor control system operates the press through a selected sequence. The system will automatically control numbering, non-numbering and indexing cycles.

CHECK DISCRIMINATOR
A photoelectric check/deposit slip discriminator reads a code in the margin of each sheet to identify checks. The numbering unit automatically lifts off impression while the press prints deposit slips.

QUICK-CHANGE PLATE SYSTEM
The press can be programmed to automatically stop at the end of a run for a plate change. This function includes a stop-at-home feature that causes the plate cylinder to stop in the exact location required to hang the next plate. This feature, coupled with the unique foot operated plate clamp allows the operator to mount and position a plate in seconds.
