Böttcher Heidelberg XL 105 Plate Damper

The Heidelberg XL 105 dampening roller, also known as a dampening system roller or damping roller, from Böttcher is a mechanical roller used as a component of inking and dampening units in printing presses. It has the dimensions 130 x 30 x 30 cm and weighs 20 kg. Another part number for this product is F2.030.301F from Heidelberg. Dampening rollers are essential for applying a thin film of water to the printing plate, which prevents ink acceptance in non-image areas and thus ensures a precise printing result. They serve for precise control of dampening solution application to secure print image quality and minimize spoilage. Typical applications are found in offset printing, especially in sheetfed offset machines, where they ensure uniform dampening of the printing plate. They are used in the graphic industry, packaging printing, and newspaper production. This spare part is compatible with machines such as 'Heidelberg XL 105' and 'Heidelberg XL 106'.
