SPECIFICATIONS
Printing dies are manufactured to precision thickness
tolerances which are very critical to the performance of
these printers. When installed, the face of the printing die
should extend only .007" - .008" beyond the radius of the
Bearer rings as shown in Figure 1. Using dies that do not
meet the design specifications will result in poor print quality
and possible damage to the transfer roll.
Although there are several competitive rib backed die
systems available, it is very important to note that they are
not all made to the same rib spacing or thickness
specifications and they are not interchangeable.
Universal also offers Metric RIBtype® Die Systems for use in countries where metric character sizes are the
standard. The Metric dies are thicker and the rib spacing differs slightly from the standard printing dies therefore
the two versions are not compatible.
To accommodate the differences, the print drums for Metric dies are
machined to a slightly different diameter from the U.S. versions.
The printer model numbers on Metric printers will have a “-T” suffix and the Metric Drum Covers have a distinct
pink color.
Dies are also available in “logo” form in which a complete text message is produced on a single piece of rib
backed rubber. Logo dies are much faster to change and generally produce better print quality due to their
unitized construction. Custom type styles, company logos, and trademarks can also be photographically
reproduced from black and white art work.
RIBtype® PRINTING DIES
Universal Non-Porous Web Printers are designed to use Universal RIBtype® printing dies which have a molded
rib backing. The ribs on the back of the die snap into mating ribs in the Drum Cover on the print drum. The printing
dies are produced in many standard character styles and sizes and are available in sets containing a combination
of individual alphabetic and numeric characters or in sets containing numeric characters only. These character
sets or “sorts” can be used to make up text messages and code numbers as necessary.

XF NEOPRENE INK ROLLS FOR THE WPNP-400NI-PIDS SERIES
The WPNP-400NI-PIDS SERIES systems are designed to use the re-inkable,
XF Neoprene Ink Rolls made from an extra firm density neoprene material.
The extremely fine cell structure of these rolls provides exceptionally good
print quality and can be used with a variety of alcohol or glycol base inks.
Unless you ordered a pre-inked roll with your machine, these rolls are supplied
in a dry condition. Pre-inked rolls are available from the factory and are
recommended for first time users but if you have a dry roll, please follow the
pre-inking instructions on page 14.
