Long-life precision with Praxair
laser-engraved anilox rolls.
When your
reputation is
on the line,
we protect it.
• Ideal for UV ink use, including
aluminum, film and paper
packaging
• Ideal for high-definition flexible,
paper and corrugated
packaging, process printing
• Delivers high-quality, highresolution printing with
minimized ink spitting
• Provides greater transfer rate
and higher achievable volumes
for screen counts
• Achieves density with a 20%
to 30% shallower engraving
depth for improved ink release
• Improves ink transfer and
cleaning with a 20% shallower
engraving depth
• For demanding coatings,
specialty materials and
varnish applications
• Ideal for flexo printing of
flexible, paper and high-quality • Smooth solids coverage,
corrugated packaging
improves gloss and produces
less pinholing
• Reaches higher densities with
minimal dot penalty gain
• Supports uniform doctor
blades from uniformly
distributed cell posts
