Dies, base plates and blankets
The core hardware for the RSP Base Plate 2.0 system.
RSP direct fit dies are designed for secure attachment onto the new RSP Base Plate 2.0, delivering exceptional precision with register adjustments in all directions up to 1.5 mm. These dies are ideal for high-demand, large-format jobs.
RSP Easy Set Base Blankets are available individually for fast replacement when existing blankets have been damaged due to operator error or normal wear. Designed to work seamlessly with the RSP system, these base blankets ensure consistent contact, proper register, and optimal performance during rotary screen and diecutting applications.
Flexible dies are available with or without adhesive backing to suit a variety of applications. To place an order, email the die specifications in PDF format to dies@printcraftsupply.com.
Direct Fit Dies: RSP direct fit dies are designed for secure attachment onto the new RSP Base Plate 2.0, delivering exceptional precision with register adjustments in all directions up to 1.5 mm. These dies are ideal for high-demand, large-format jobs.
The Digital Roller Nip and Setting system is a precision tool used to measure and calibrate the pressure (nip) between rollers in printing, diecutting, or coating units. This system ensures uniform pressure across the roller width, reducing variation in print laydown, diecut accuracy, or coating application.
RSP Protective Impression Cylinder Jackets are designed to safeguard the impression cylinder during inline diecutting, creasing, and perforating with the RSP Inline Finishing System. These jackets provide a smooth, resilient surface that protects the cylinder from damage caused by flexible dies, while maintaining accurate and consistent pressure throughout the production run.
Impression Cylinder Strips are stainless steel, self-adhesive strips designed to protect specific areas of the impression cylinder during diecutting and perforating operations. Ideal for applications where only localized protection is needed, these strips help prevent cylinder damage from cutting or perforating pressure without covering the entire surface.
RSP Adhesive Tapes are specialty tapes designed for use with the RSP Inline Finishing System. Primarily used to secure the edges of etched flexible dies to the mylar grid, these tapes ensure precise die placement and stable performance during inline diecutting, creasing, or perforating.
RSP Creasing Rubbers are engineered to work seamlessly with the RSP Offset Creasing Matrix system, providing reliable, repositionable support for modern offset creasing applications. Designed for quick setup and precision alignment, these flexible rubbers are applied directly to the impression cylinder, allowing for easy adjustments and efficient makeready.
The RSP Mylar Grid is a durable, press-specific alignment film designed to match the exact diameter of the impression cylinder. It allows for accurate pre-make ready of the RSP form outside the press, saving valuable setup time and improving registration accuracy during inline creasing, perforating, or diecutting.
RSP Offset Creasing Strips Off-Center OCC from CITO are specially developed for use in the RSP Inline Finishing System. These high-precision creasing strips are designed for offset applications where accurate crease placement is essential — particularly in packaging, folding carton, and commercial print jobs.
RSP Offset Creasing Strips in the Standard ORS (Offset Rubber Strip) form from CITO are designed for reliable, high-quality scoring in offset printing applications — delivering letterpress-quality creases directly on the press. Compatible with the RSP Inline Finishing System, these strips provide precise, clean scoring results across a wide range of substrates.
RSP Processing Rule are high-quality steel rules engineered specifically for scoring, cutting, and perforating in the RSP Inline Finishing System. Each rule is precisely height-adjusted to ensure optimal contact with the impression cylinder — delivering clean, accurate results across a variety of substrates.
Stability and control for sheet transport. RSP Supporting Foam is designed to enhance balance and ensure smooth transport of the print sheet during the offset creasing process. Applied in the trim area of the sheet, this self-adhesive foam plays a critical role in maintaining sheet stability.
