Flexographic Printing Roller

The flexo printing/coating process depends upon the precise controlled transfer of a liquid ink, varnish or coating.An anilox roll is simply a metering roll designed to consistently supply a uniform and measurable volume of ink onto the image carrier. Anilox roll is considered to be the heart of the flexographic press. Flexographic printing is a technique that uses a flexible printing plate. The inked plates have a raised image and rotate at high speeds to transfer the ink through small holes from the anilox roll to the substrate; each color requires a different printing plate.
