Friday 17. July 2009 - Afton has announced that Lith-O-Roll Corporation, an El Monte, California, manufacturer of stock and custom rollers for the printing industry, has added Jomac Web Red rollers to its product offerings.

Afton Vice-President of Sales and Marketing Roger Giza, announcing the addition to the Lith-O-Roll line, commented: ” Afton is pleased to welcome Lith-O-Roll, a long-time supplier of Jomac Ryno rollers, to the growing list of roller manufacturers now offering Jomac Web Red rollers. As printers learn the advantages of cooler running Web Red rollers, demand continues to grow for this new compound. Recent tests conducted at the GATF laboratories near Pittsburgh clearly indicate that rollers made with Jomac Web Red compound run cooler, last longer, and produce more consistent images.”
