Adana 8x5 Rider Roller Kit

Enhanced Rider Roller for Adana 8x5 — Smoother, Stronger, Superior Coverage

Unlock the full potential of your Adana 8x5 with our newly engineered Rider Roller Kit, designed to elevate your printing to a whole new level. Whether you’re working with traditional letterpress type, polymer plates, or intricate fine‑detail designs, this add‑on delivers the consistency and power your press has been missing.

Why add a Rider Roller?

Over‑inking, under‑inking, and inconsistent distribution are some of the most common frustrations for Adana 8x5 users. Our upgraded rider roller solves these challenges by boosting the machine's rolling power, improving ink transfer and ensuring a smooth coverage across the entire forme.

Compatibility

The Adana 8 x 5 had a number of different Ink Roller Holders so check the compatibility on the chart in the pictures. This product is the full conversion with the shaft clips. If you have the moulded plastic version 3 roller holders then you will need AMOAM257 as your machine will already have a spring clip on the roller holders.

Key Benefits

Smoother, More Even Ink Coverage
The enhanced roller setup ensures ink is spread uniformly, reducing patchiness and improving clarity of even the most delicate impressions.

Improved Rolling Power & Stability
The third roller increases surface engagement, helping the main rollers turn more effectively—especially beneficial when using stiffer inks or printing larger solids.

Effortless Installation
Engineered as a direct, non‑intrusive add‑on for the Adana 8x5 Mk2, Mk3 and 85C, it fits seamlessly without modifying your existing setup. Please note it will not fit the older Mk1 models with the "Umbrella" roller holders.

Consistent, Professional‑Grade Results
Achieve repeatable outcomes from job to job, making this an ideal upgrade for both hobbyists and small‑batch commercial printers.

Give your press the upgrade it deserves—and give your prints the smoothness, richness, and consistency they were meant to have.

Experience superior ink distribution with the Rider Roller upgrade for the Adana 8x5.
