Ukrainian Research Institute of Special Printing Processes

Chairman of the Board - V. Vorobyov

Ukrainian research institute of special printing (URISP) is the only research center in Ukraine, which develops complex scientific and technical programs as to creation of equipment, materials and technologies for unconventional methods of polygraphic design of materials with different properties (physical-chemical, operational, technical, geometric), semi-processed products, goods.

For 40 years of its existence the URISP has developed different types of polygraphic equipment, technologies of silk-screen, ftexography, intaglio, indirect letterpress (type-offset), tampon and offset printing on paper-cardboard, film, laminated surface, calico, metallized, wooden, glass, polymeric materials and volumetric wares.
Due to progressive scientific and technical features, protected (in many cases) by copy-right certificates and patents of Ukraine, the equipment, materials and technologies were made, implemented and used by many enterprises in the former USSR up to the present time.

On the contractual grounds the URISP offers to Ukrainian organizations and enterprises the scientific and technical results of many years activity. Silk-screen printing method
- equipment for manufacturing of silk-screen printing forms: copying frames (with lighter batteries), stretching devices;
- manual accessories and semiautomatic devices for printing of one- and multi-color images (bar and raster) on flat materials of different thickness and dimension;
- dryers for printed products with IR and UV-radiation (tunnel and case types) and shelves-trucks for impresses drying;
- machine-tool for rackel sharpening;
- printing paints for coating of painted images on various materials (paper, cardboard, polymeric films, calico, cloths, glass, tree, foiled dielectrics, enameled the surfaces, metallic plates) taking into account the of special wares exploitation conditions;
- liquid photopolymeric compositions and film copying materials for making of silk-screen forms;

Flexography printing method
- complete set of equipment for making of photopolymeric printing forms (copying units and customized devices);
- sheet one- and double-colored machines for printing on workpieces of crimped cardboard, rough materials, bags;
- roll multi-color machines for printing on roll materials (polymeric films, paper, cardboard, laminates, foil);
- liquid water solution paints for printing on paper-cardboard materials by method flexography (deep) printing and paint spirit-ether solutions for print-ing on film materials and foil;
- photopolymeric compositions (plates) for making of flexographic forms;

Tampon printing seal
- complete set of equipment for making of forms for tampon printing (copy-ing units and centrifuges for blowing in photocopy compositions);
- one-paint manual accessories, one and multicolored semiautomatic devices for printing on flat and volumetric wares (preserve cans, covers, clocks dials, leather footwear details and haberdashery, souvenirs, stationery, toys, domestic goods etc.);
- paints for printing on wares made from various polymeric materials, glass, metals and others;
- compositions for making of tampons;
Indirect letterpress printing (type-offset)
- copying plant for making of type-offset forms;
- three-paint machine for indirect letterpress on covers for volumetric package made of polystyrene;
- technologies of forming and printing processes (consulting services, devel-opment of normative documentation on equipment, materials, technological processes, print products etc.);
- licenses on inventions (useful models as for equipment, composition of printing-paints).

Offset printing
- Varnish-paint materials for tin printing production of preserve package, metallic toys, tables etc.;
- metallized paints for printing on pigmented paper of sheet products (plac-ards, advertising boards, covers, labels etc.).

Finishing processes of polygraphic production
- complete set of equipment for selective varnishing of sheet products by method of silk-screen printing (semiautomatic device for varnishing, UV-radiation dryer);
- gilding presses (different types/dimensions and automation degree) for putting of images on sheet materials by pressure of polygraphic foil;
- dryers of various destination for fixing on impresses of varnish-painting layers of different nature (removing of solvents, polymerization etc.);
- typical row of equipment for punching and fanning of package from crimped cardboard.

Apart from the above, the URISP has an extensive experience in conducting research, as well as the stock of special technical literature, operat-ing normative documents for polygraphy and relating branches of science and industry, offers such services:
- sale of licenses on inventions (useful mod-els of equipment, composition of varnish-painting and forming materials, methods and devices for objective quality control, etc.);
- making of analytic reports as for the actual state of polygraphic engineering, technologies and materials;
- recommendations concerning determination of opti-mal schemes of application of painted images on various ware, materials, ready-to-cook foods (using unconventional methods and methods of polygraphic engineering and technology);
- scientific and technical quality examination of printed products and polygraphic materials (with expert conclusions);
- devel-opment of technological documentation (directions for processes of polygraphic products technological regulations on production of varnish-paint-ing, forming and other materials, route technological diagrams);
- devel-opment of normative documentation (standards, technical conditions) with registration in State Standard committee;
- ecological control of industrial waste in drainage waters, atmosphere exhaust and determination of petrochemical products content in drainage waters;
- taking of technical quality examination and authenticity of securities and documents of strict reporting;
- rendering of sci-entific and technical and organizational services related to transaction of patent-license work.

The Institute is a co-founder of the leading trade chronicle “Drukarstvo” (printing). For the five years of the magazine’s existence it has won respect of Ukrainian publishers and polygraphic workers, maintained the links with advertising custo-mers, has been reputed as the leading integrator of the trade professional and special purpose.

The URISP is always ready for co-operation with manufacturing, scientific, and marketing organizations of Vatutinskiy district of Kyiv city and all Ukraine to effectively solve the production, technical, scientific, and information of the publishing-polygraphic industry for the sake of technical progress and welfare of Ukrainian people.
