Anilox Rollers
Anilox rollers are precision-engineered components used in flexographic printing to deliver a controlled and consistent amount of ink to the printing plate. Their surface is engraved with thousands of microscopic cells that pick up ink and transfer it evenly during the printing process.
The performance of an anilox roller depends on key specifications such as line screen (LPI), cell volume, engraving angle, and cell geometry. These parameters determine the amount of ink transferred and can be selected according to the required print density, colour reproduction, substrate, and ink type.
Anilox rollers are widely used in flexographic printing presses for applications including flexible packaging, labels, paper bags, corrugated packaging, and other printed materials. Proper selection, cleaning, and maintenance of the roller are important for maintaining consistent ink transfer, colour accuracy, print quality, and efficient ink usage.
Key Features:
- Precision and consistent ink transfer
- Available in various line screens and cell volumes
- Suitable for water-based, solvent-based, and UV inks, depending on specification
- Supports consistent colour density and print reproduction
- Designed for a wide range of flexographic printing applications
- Requires proper cleaning and maintenance to preserve cell volume and performance
Applications:
- Flexible packaging
- Labels and self-adhesive materials
- Paper and paper bags
- Corrugated packaging
- Film printing
- General flexographic printing
For the best results, an anilox roller should be selected based on the printing press, ink system, substrate, desired ink coverage, and required print quality.
