I need to know the inking rollers and damping rollers (pan and form roller) for heidelberg speedmaster 74 year 2008.
 
Dampening rollers should be between 25-30 degrees and inking rollers 30-35 degrees shore A hardness.
 
  • I prefer a softer compound on the dampeners if running alcohol free. Starting out at 20 shore hardness under most conditions will work a bit better I.M.O.
    Im also a strong believer that on the smaller Speedmasters 72, 74, and smaller there is no need to have a crown ground into the water pan roller. Ive found a parallel grind of the roller makes for better water control especially when running the softer rollers.
