RIBtype® rubber type is made of premium quality rubber or
synthetic materials according to your requirements. Type is manufactured
to a thickness of .210", +/- .003", the most exacting tolerances in the
industry...guaranteed. This ensures uniform type thicknesses for the
best impressions. The alignment of our type meets the same exacting
tolerances. The "ribs" on RIBtype are symmetrical and perfectly match to
the ribs on RIBtype® base sheets. This precision fit helps ensure that
type seats uniformly and stays in place during printing. RIBtype is
proudly made in the USA.
RIBtype Standard Specifications
Unless otherwise specified, all RIBtype fonts, sorts,
logos, and mats are made with U.S. Standard specifications as shown below.
Deep Relief type is thicker overall, and the
characters are deeper from the face to the base of the character. It is
sometimes used to prevent the background from printing on uneven
surfaces and because ink builds up less rapidly inside the characters.
Quality Guarantee
RIBtype ribbed rubber type is precision manufactured

guarantee the alignment of our type will meet the same exacting
tolerances. For best results, replace worn type or other brands whose
thickness and tolerance may vary. For best holding power and a perfect
fit, use precision molded RIBtype® rib-base sheets.
