KATSURA rubber rollers will reduce labor costs and improve printing quality for your company.

Our inking rollers are ink resistance, oil, and abrasion resistant, has a low heat build up feature, superior ink transferability and less deterioration with age.
Our continuous dampening rollers are water and chemical resistant, and with high hydrophilicity.

KATSURA's technical group have been collaborating with the technical division of almost all Japanese press manufactures, such as Komori, Hamada, Ryobi, Mitsubishi, Dic-Manroland, and have been developing superior rubber compounds, which are used for the valuable rollers to be mounted on their new presses.
