Press Chemicals

Product Image

The big advantage printers have when the PRESS CHEMICALS & inks come from the same manufacturer. Since they have been developed together with the same high level technological & production quality they harmonise well together.

Our PRESS CHEMICALS are also compatible with latest plate chemistry on various press configuration.

A stable inks water balance is of crucial importance to achieve excellent print reproduction. hubergroup’s fount concentrates have been perfectly formulated by the technicians for optimum performance in varied print conditions.



Fountain Solutions

Product Image

Huber fount solution additives stand out thanks to their high degree of compatibility with different printing inks and configurations, and they are renowned for the fact that a stable ink/water balance can be formulated very quickly with them. And it goes without saying that they harmonise particularly well with those inks that originate from our own R&D labs.

This is because the aspirations are identical and so too the equally high standard of technology and production that has evolved over the past decades. This is precisely the "hums" on which consistently high quality flourishes.




Washes & Cleaners


Product Image

Our press washes and cleaners are optimized to achieve best cleaning of blankets, rollers, plates and machine parts ensuring not only improved quality reproduction, but also long life for plates, rollers and blankets. Products have been developed to comply with the issues of safety, flammability, environmental regulations, equipment compatibility, drying speed, cleaning power and customer preferences.

Roller Wash and Blanket Wash – Keeping healthier environment with low VOC contents, washes include range of low odour/odourless emulsion washes, solvent and vegetable oil based washes for automatic washing devices or manual cleaning with excellent solvency power having different flammability range and wide range of drying speeds. Care has been taken to rule out the possibility of skin irritation.

Plate Cleaner - Superior emulsion cleaning agent designed to remove ink scums and dirts from all types of plates and to restore plate completely.

Dampner Cleaner- Water misible solvent and vegetable oil based cleaner which cleans the dampner with a minimum of wiping and keeps the polymer rubber or cloth surface in prime condition.

U.V. Washes - Superior washes for blanket and rollers to remove U.V ink particles and all traces of oleophilic substrates and prevents glaze build up.



Additives & Auxiliaries


Product Image

Printing additives and auxiliaries and know-how have one thing in common: normally, when everything runs as it's supposed to, you don't need them. Both of them are only needed when-for whatever reason - difficulties arise. In such cases, it has always been our conviction to stand by our customers - knowing fully well that in doing so, one can make a very good name for oneself as a supplier.

Under the motto "Service that helps you get on", we will from now on be offering you services that go far beyond the normal call of duty, enabling you to call upon all the knowledge and expertise we have gathered from decades of research, development and field experience exactly when you need it. Our additive basket contain gum solutions Micro Nol, Anti set-off spray powder, Silicon emulsion, Antioxidants, rejuvenators and conditioners, hand cleaning gel etc.
