ANILOX ROLLER SYSTEMS
Many lithographic printing machines now incorporate Anilox roller-based inking or coating systems and this presents new challenges for the operating staff.

Type of Anilox material (ceramic or chrome), selection of anilox-cell dimensions, cleaning and maintenance are all critical in determining the lay-down of the coating or ink in use.

Cleaning and preventative maintenance of the Anilox is essential. Hydro-Dynamic Products, in conjunction with a leading Anilox roller manufacturer, has developed effective user- friendly cleaning products which remove all dried ink and coatings from Anilox cells ensuring maximum volumes without damage to the roller.
