This section seeks to share technical information about printing and rollers, answer questions, teach you new techniques, and dispel some of the myths and mis-information that have been spread over the years. We’ve collected the most Frequently Asked Questions into our Printer’s FAQ. The most common roller-related problems are covered here.

Ask questions and read answers in our Printer’s Forum-a lively community of pressmen, Böttcher technical experts, pressmen, pressroom managers, and anyone else interested. Everyone is welcome. The topics are broad, and we encourage discussions on any aspect of printing, not just rollers. This is a service we offer with pleasure to help make your job easier.

If you have a very specific question that isn’t appropriate for the Forum, you can send it directly to our technical staff. Simply write your question on the Ask Böttcher page. A side note: Our technical department is also available to customers to teach seminars on the maintenance and care of rollers. And they will visit your plant to profile your presses for correct roller sizes and adequate roller inventory. Send them a message if you’re interested.

Coming soon-Böttcher will be posting MSDS Sheets and Product Data Sheets on-line for your convenience. In the meantime, please contact your representative or our technical support staff at
