AB Dick 9980
AB Dick 9980 Offset Duplicator Press
Simple control, sophisticated functions, High Productivity
The AB Dick 9980 Press is designed to provide high quality, multi-color prints, and if desired, numbering, imprinting and perforating—all in a single operation.
The AB Dick 9980 ’s continuous dampening and highcapacity inking system gives it the ability to produce bright colors, excellent solids, sharp, open halftones and fine line art.
AB Dick 9980 Standard features are designed to provide excellent registration for maximum productivity. From the time the sheet leaves the pre-loadable paper feed table, until it is delivered into the receding chain pile delivery system, it’s under total control. An interchangeable left-to-right push side guide makes it well suited for work-and-turn applications.
The segmented lever-actuated ink fountain delivers more precise ink control in each region. Calibrated setting numbers provide a good starting place for ink densities. Graduated levers allow quick profiling of the current ink supply; and by raising or lowering the levers, fine adjustments to the flow of ink can be easily made for better color control and image consistency.
While printing, vertical image adjustment is done with the turn of a dial—and it’s not necessary to clean the blanket afterwards. Also, diagonal micro adjustments to the sheet can be made while the press runs.
A straight-edge plate clamp with positioning pins fixes the plate securely in place, for the long run. Double-sprung grippers maintain constant pressure to hold the paper firmly during high speed operation.
The one-touch universal feeder provides dependable paper feed. Double-sheets are automatically detected and ejected without interrupting the printing process.
AB Dick 9980 have design for easy operation, a single lever controls dampening, inking, paper feeding and printing. Push-buttons activate low speed inching and stop the plate cylinder at predetermined positions to allow fast plate mounting/removal and blanket cleaning.

Actually there are some simple and easy tips that would assist you in getting six pack stomach that you might want. Avoid eating while watching the tv screen. Since your mind and focus is going to be on the movie and television show that you are watching, well worth the price be able to watch how much food that you are eating. You may usually overeat while watching television.
