R1 & R2 Ink Cartridge

The Ritter ink cartridges R1 and R2 consist of three parts:

Cartridge body with integrated valve
Sealing cap
Plunger for pressing out the ink

The cylindrical cartridge body is filled with printing ink. The integrated valve is a special feature: it opens when pressure is applied to the ink, and automatically closes again when the pressure eases off.

The ink cartridge is equipped with a sealing cap that is very easy to remove by hand. The cap makes sure that the valve stays closed while the cartridge is being filled with ink, and also provides security during transport. The cap can also be used to tightly reseal a partially emptied ink cartridge after use. Both full and partially emptied ink cartridges have a very long shelf life. Even after being stored for a long time, they can be opened and used without any loss of ink.
The plunger has special air channels that en- sure reliable venting of the cartridge while pressing the ink out. Ink penetrates the air channels, where it hardens to seal them off airtight. The special geometry of the plunger ensures perfect wiping off so that the cartridge can be emptied virtually 100%.
The cartridge can be filled with any offset ink or varnish. For use of UV inks, there are special cartridge versions. Numerous inkfeed systems based on these proven, established Ritter ink cartridges are now available on the market.
