TYPE SETS
The most economical way to buy individual letters and numbers is by buying boxed assortments. "T" assortments include capital letters, numbers and punctuation marks. "F" figure assortments include numbers and punctuation marks only. The type sets shown on this chart are usually in stock, ready for shipment.

TYPE STYLES

RIBtype® comes in 4 basic styles: A, B, U and G. However RIBtype® can be manufactured in nearly any typeface. The accompanying chart compares our nomenclature to other brands’ for easy conversion. For example, RIBtype® style U76 is comparable to other brands’ 076.

CUSTOM TYPE |
| RIBtype® can be made-to-order, in the form of single characters (sorts), single line logos or multiple-line mats within 2 days. Large orders may require extra time. In emergencies, 1-day or 2-day special rush service is available for an extra charge. We can also convert your camera-ready black-and-white artwork into type. Custom logos and mats can provide superior impressions over combinations of single characters. This is because the typeface wears evenly. Use of logos instead of single sorts can also save time and prevent costly operator insertion errors. When ordering custom type, please specify any unusual requirements, such as vertical ribs, mirror image or cut-outs for mats used with inserts. |

We also sell replacement rubber coder rings for many brands of coders. Rib-base is normally .155" thick, but some special thicknesses are available.

HAND HELD STAMPS
 For low-volume imprinting, we offer a variety of hand-held devices for use with RIBtype®. Rib-base handle stamps can be made in sizes to suit your needs. Self-inking stamps have the ink pad built-in for fast and easy marking. Rocker stamps made of wood or even more durable aluminum are recommended for large imprint areas.

RIBtype® rubber type is pressed into the print wheel, and an ink roll automatically applies the ink. Printers are available in two models:
INDEXING: On these printers, the print wheel automatically returns to the start position after each imprint. You get one accurate, complete imprint every time.
NON-INDEXING: Also known as "random" or "continuous" printers, these models print continuously at repeat intervals equal to the print wheel circumference.
Indexing Model HHCM-I Print Size: 1 3/4 x 9"
Non-Indexing Model HHCM-R Print Size: 1 3/4 x 11"
#01-050 POLY-INK ROLLS, available in BLACK, RED, BLUE OR GREEN
Poly-ink® disposable ink rolls give you thousands of impressions with no liquid ink mess. Re-Inkable neoprene ink roll also available. |
