Heidelberg SM / CD 102 White Inking Form / Distributor Roller (Exchange)

The Heidelberg SM / CD 102 White Inking Form / Distributor Roller is a precision-recovered exchange roller designed for the Heidelberg SM 102 and CD 102 offset printing presses. Part number 71.009.031F/02-1-1, this roller serves a dual function in the SM 102 / CD 102 ink train — as a form roller it contacts the printing plate directly to apply ink, and as a distributor it oscillates laterally to spread ink evenly across the full roller width, making it critical to both ink application accuracy and ink film uniformity.

A properly functioning White Inking Form / Distributor Roller is essential for consistent ink density, clean halftone dots, and stable color across the press sheet. When form and distributor rollers wear, harden, or glaze over time, ink delivery to the plate becomes uneven, leading to streaking, ghosting, ink stripes, and inconsistent color. Replacing worn rollers with precision-recovered units restores both accurate ink application and even lateral distribution, improving overall print quality and reducing makeready waste on your SM 102 or CD 102.

This Heidelberg SM / CD 102 White Inking Form / Distributor Roller is supplied as an exchange unit. Return your worn core within 20 days to avoid additional charges. All exchange rollers are precision-ground and recovered to OEM specifications, ensuring a drop-in fit with no press modification required.
